Risca FAQs

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.

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

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

Does regulation 10 apply in Risca?

No. Risca is in Wales and regulation 10 is English law. The Fire Safety Order 2005 still requires fire doors to be maintained, and many Welsh landlords follow the same quarterly and annual routine as good practice.
