Questions from Birmingham clients

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Birmingham?

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

Yes. As well as Birmingham itself we cover nearby towns including Aston, Smethwick and Washwood Heath.
