Questions from Aston clients

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.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Aston?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Aston can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Aston?

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