Most inspection reports have a line about signs, and it's rarely the expensive one. The door in the photo has its blue keep shut notice on the face, about halfway up. That's what we put back when one has gone.
On the door
Notices peel, get painted over and get picked off. A door onto a shared corridor should have one, and a door that's kept locked should say so. Refitting takes minutes, so we do it while we're on site for something else.
Labels on the edge
Some doors carry a label or a coloured plug in the edge, and that's how an inspector knows the rating. Once it's painted over, nobody can say what the door is. We won't make up a label for you. What we do is record the door exactly as we find it.
Tall residential blocks
Blocks of 18 metres or seven storeys and above need wayfinding signs under the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022. Our job is fitting what your fire risk assessment calls for, and the assessment itself is a separate service. Your responsible person or managing agent knows which rules cover the building.
Questions we get asked
Does a sign make it a fire door?
No. A sign on an ordinary door gives people false comfort.
Do both sides need one?
Often. The report will tell you.
