Blocks with a storey above 11 metres also fall under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: communal fire doors checked at least every three months, flat front doors at least every year.

Common questions in Kent

Which rules do fire exit doors in Deal need to meet?

They are specified to Approved Document B (England) and your fire risk assessment or fire strategy. We confirm the rating of each door at survey.

Can you fit just one door in Deal?

Yes — from a single door to a full building. Where possible, small jobs are scheduled alongside other visits in Kent.

How quickly can you survey in Deal?

We arrange surveys around your access needs and, where possible, combine Deal visits with other work in Kent. Tell us your preferred dates when you enquire.

Can a fire exit door be locked?

Not in a way that prevents instant exit without a key while the building is occupied. Panic and emergency exit hardware achieves security and escape together.
