Fire Exit Door Checks in Acton

From the W3 district outwards, we cover Acton and neighbouring towns such as Chiswick and Shepherds Bush 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 Acton.

Common questions in Acton

Do fire exit doors need panic bars?

Panic hardware to BS EN 1125 is normally used where members of the public or people unfamiliar with the building use the exit. Emergency exit devices to BS EN 179 can be suitable where users are trained staff. The fire risk assessment decides.

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.

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Acton?

It depends on the number of doors and access. Tell us what you need and we will give you the earliest date when you call, and confirm it in writing.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Acton?

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