Hove FAQs
Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Hove?
Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Hove is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.
Do you cover the area around Hove?
Yes. As well as Hove itself we cover nearby towns including Brighton, Portslade and Rottingdean.
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.
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.
