Questions from Witham clients

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Witham?

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

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.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Witham?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Witham can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.
