Your questions answered

Which rules do stairwell fire doors in Ampthill 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.
Will I get certificates for the doors fitted in Ampthill?
Every doorset is listed in your handover pack with the manufacturer's certificate reference, plus an installation record and photos.
Which way should an escape door open?
In the direction of escape where the number of people using it is high — Approved Document B sets the thresholds. Many small-occupancy doors can open either way.
