Aldershot FAQs

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

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

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 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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Aldershot?

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