  1. Not all exits needs to be signed but what you have stated, appear to be correct and in the case of a fire this door needs to be available and it may, without an inspection it is impossible to say.

  2. The front exit is your principle means of escape (MoE) the rear exit is your alterative MoE so if you have to exit your premises then you use the front door and only if that is impassable do you use the rear exit. Assuming the MoE is of a high standard only one MoE will be affected in the event of a fire in your building so you will always have a means of escape available. The standard of the means of escape is a matter for the Responsible Person (owner, landlord or yourself) and without a survey I am unable to give a categoric reply.

  3.  

    Fire safety legislation does not give prescript requirements it simply gives requirements that needs to be achieved like, measures to reduce the risk of fire on the premises and the risk of the spread of fire on the premises, how you can achieve it is left to the guides and codes.

    The insurance company is more concerned with property protection and they can lay down conditions they think necessary. If you require their insurance you have to abide by the conditions or negotiate for a more favourable situation.
