Fire Door Signage in Lichfield

From the WS13 district outwards, we cover Lichfield and neighbouring towns such as Burntwood and Tamworth for fire door signage surveys.

Fire door signage is the mandatory blue-and-white signs on fire doors telling people how the door must be used: keep shut, keep locked shut, or automatic fire door keep clear. We use the same method for buildings in Lichfield.

Lichfield FAQs

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Lichfield?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Lichfield is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.

Is a missing sign a serious defect?

It will normally be recorded as a fail or advisory. It is quick and cheap to fix, so it is best done on the same visit.

Do signs go on both sides of the door?

Self-closing fire doors are generally signed on both faces. Cupboard and riser doors are usually signed on the outside only.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Lichfield?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Lichfield can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.
