Fire Exit Door Checks in Penarth: questions
Does regulation 10 apply in Penarth?
No. Penarth is in Wales and regulation 10 is English law. The Fire Safety Order 2005 still requires fire doors to be maintained, and many Welsh landlords follow the same quarterly and annual routine as good practice.
Can you price remedial work in Penarth from another company's report?
Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Penarth, 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.
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.
