Chippenham FAQs
Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Chippenham?
Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Chippenham 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.
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.
Can you price remedial work in Chippenham from another company's report?
Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Chippenham, or revisit specific doors if the report lacks detail.
