Common questions in Paignton

Which fire safety law applies in Paignton?

Paignton is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential buildings.

Can you check the doors from the corridor only?

Part of the check can be done from outside, but the self-closer and the inside face need access to the flat. Where we cannot get in we record what was checked and why the rest was not possible.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Paignton?

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

What if a leaseholder has fitted a non-fire-rated door?

The report flags it with photographs and the evidence available. The responsible person and fire risk assessor then decide on the action, which may include asking the leaseholder to replace it.
