Common questions in Ayr

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

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

How often should fire exits be checked?

Many responsible persons check them weekly as part of the fire log, with a detailed check at least annually.

Does regulation 10 apply in Ayr?

No. Ayr is in Scotland, which has its own fire safety law. The Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 cover workplaces, HMOs and other non-domestic premises; common parts of private blocks of flats are largely outside them.

Can a fire exit be locked?

It must be openable from inside without a key at all times the building is occupied. Security locks that need a key from inside are not acceptable on escape routes.
