Questions from Daventry clients

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Daventry?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Daventry 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 Daventry from another company's report?

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

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.

How often should fire exits be checked?

Many responsible persons check them weekly as part of the fire log, with a detailed check at least annually.
