Rayleigh FAQs

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Rayleigh?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Rayleigh 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 Rayleigh from another company's report?

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