Common questions in Selby

Do you cover the area around Selby?

Yes. As well as Selby itself we cover nearby towns including Goole, Pontefract and York.

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.

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Selby?

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