Fire Exit Door Checks in Nelson

Nelson landlords, managing agents and facilities teams can book fire exit door checks with straightforward reports and fixed prices.

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 Nelson.

Questions from Nelson clients

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.

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Nelson?

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

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

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