Questions from Crawley clients

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 Crawley?

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

Do you cover the area around Crawley?

Yes. As well as Crawley itself we cover nearby towns including Horley, Horsham and East Grinstead.

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.
