Questions from Wilmslow clients

Do you cover the area around Wilmslow?

Yes. As well as Wilmslow itself we cover nearby towns including Cheadle Hulme, Hazel Grove and Altrincham.

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 to buildings in Wilmslow?

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

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.
