Fire Exit Door Checks in Ramsgate

We provide fire exit door checks for buildings in Ramsgate and the CT11 postcode district, from single doors to whole blocks and estates.

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 Ramsgate.

Questions from Ramsgate clients

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

Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Ramsgate, 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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Ramsgate?

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

Can a fire exit be locked?

It must be openable from inside without a key at all times the building is occupied. Security locks that need a key from inside are not acceptable on escape routes.
