Fire Exit Door Checks in Heswall

Heswall 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 Heswall.

Questions from Heswall clients

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

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

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.

Which fire safety law applies in Heswall?

Heswall is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential buildings.
