Fire Exit Door Checks in Chesterfield: questions

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

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

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Chesterfield?

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

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.

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.
