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.

Which rules do fire exit doors in Blackburn 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.

Do fire exit doors need to be fire doors?

Not always. It depends on the wall they sit in and nearby escape routes.
