Ilford FAQs

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Ilford?

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

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.

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Ilford?

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.

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.
