Fire Door Signage in Redditch

From the B97 district outwards, we cover Redditch and neighbouring towns such as Bromsgrove and Shirley 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 Redditch.

Common questions in Redditch

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

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

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Redditch?

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

Do all fire doors need a sign?

Most do. Self-closing fire doors usually need fire door keep shut signs; doors to cupboards and risers usually need keep locked shut; doors on hold-open devices need automatic fire door signs. Some doors, such as flat entrance doors and hotel bedroom doors, are commonly treated differently.

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.
