Questions from Gateshead clients

Can I use any fire door sign?

Use mandatory blue-and-white signs consistent with BS ISO 7010 and the building's existing signage.

Can you price remedial work in Gateshead from another company's report?

Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Gateshead, or revisit specific doors if the report lacks detail.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Gateshead?

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

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.
