Questions from Huntingdon clients

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Huntingdon?

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

Do you cover the area around Huntingdon?

Yes. As well as Huntingdon itself we cover nearby towns including Saint Neots, Cambridge and Peterborough.

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.
