Questions from Newport (Gwent)
Is Newport (Gwent) within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Newport (Gwent) in Gwent and neighbouring towns such as Risca. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Newport (Gwent) building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
Do fire exit doors have to open outwards?
Exit doors generally open in the direction of escape, especially where many people use them. Your fire strategy or risk assessment sets the requirement for each door.
Can a fire exit door be locked?
It can be secured against entry from outside, but it must open from inside without a key whenever the building is occupied. Panic and emergency exit hardware are designed for exactly this.
