Fire Exit Door Checks in Leigh

From the WN7 district outwards, we cover Leigh and neighbouring towns such as Atherton and Tyldesley 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 Leigh.
