Fire Exit Door Checks in Brighton

We provide fire exit door checks for buildings in Brighton and the BN1 postcode district, from single doors to whole blocks and estates.

A fire exit door check confirms that every final exit door opens easily in the direction of escape without a key, that its panic or emergency hardware works, and that the route beyond it is clear and signed. We use the same method for buildings in Brighton.

Questions from Brighton clients

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 Brighton from another company's report?

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

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Brighton?

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