Which rules do stairwell fire doors in Didcot 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 work around tenants or staff in Didcot?

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.

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.
