Your questions answered

Can you work around tenants or staff in Shipley?

Yes. We phase work in occupied buildings and keep escape routes available. Each door is planned to be removed and replaced the same day; if that isn't possible, the opening is made secure and we tell you in advance.

Which rules do fire exit doors in Shipley 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 Shipley?

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

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.
