Questions from Bexhill-on-Sea clients

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Bexhill-on-Sea?

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

Can you price remedial work in Bexhill-on-Sea from another company's report?

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

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 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.
