Common questions in Blackpool

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Blackpool?

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

Do you cover the area around Blackpool?

Yes. As well as Blackpool itself we cover nearby towns including Thornton-Cleveleys, Fylde and Lytham St Annes.

Do fire exit doors need panic bars?

Panic hardware to BS EN 1125 is normally used where members of the public or people unfamiliar with the building use the exit. Emergency exit devices to BS EN 179 can be suitable where users are trained staff. The fire risk assessment decides.

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.
