Newcastle upon Tyne FAQs

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 you price remedial work in Newcastle upon Tyne from another company's report?

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

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Newcastle upon Tyne?

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

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.
