Fire Exit Door Checks in Sudbury

Responsible persons in Sudbury can book fire exit door checks with clear reports, useful photos and itemised 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 Sudbury.

Fire Exit Door Checks in Sudbury: questions

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Sudbury?

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

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.

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

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

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.
