Worcester FAQs

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 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.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Worcester?

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

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Worcester?

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