Thatcham FAQs
Do fire exit doors need panic bars?
Panic hardware to BS EN 1125 is normally used where members of the public or people unfamiliar with the building use the exit. Emergency exit devices to BS EN 179 can be suitable where users are trained staff. The fire risk assessment decides.
Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Thatcham?
Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Thatcham is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.
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.
Can you price remedial work in Thatcham from another company's report?
Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Thatcham, or revisit specific doors if the report lacks detail.
