Fire Exit Door Checks in Woking

Woking 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 Woking.

Common questions in Woking

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Woking?

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

Do you cover the area around Woking?

Yes. As well as Woking itself we cover nearby towns including Guildford, Egham and Walton-on-Thames.

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.
