Fire Exit Door Checks in Wickford

From the SS12 district outwards, we cover Wickford and neighbouring towns such as Pitsea and Rayleigh for fire exit door checks.

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 Wickford.

Questions from Wickford clients

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.

Which fire safety law applies in Wickford?

Wickford is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential buildings.

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

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

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.
