Fire Exit Door Checks in Newbury
Whether it is a block of flats, a school or a care home in Newbury, our fire exit door checks follow the same door-by-door method and report format.
A fire exit door check confirms that every final exit door opens easily in the direction of escape without a key, that its panic or emergency hardware works, and that the route beyond it is clear and signed. We use the same method for buildings in Newbury.

Fire Exit Door Checks in Newbury: questions
Can you price remedial work in Newbury from another company's report?
Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Newbury, or revisit specific doors if the report lacks detail.
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.
Which fire safety law applies in Newbury?
Newbury is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential buildings.
Are fire exit doors fire doors?
Not always. Final exit doors to open air often are not fire-rated, but they must still open easily and be maintained.
