Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Chester-le-Street is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.

Is a temporary repair enough?

A make-safe gets the door closing and latching. It is recorded as temporary until a permanent repair or replacement restores the door's certified performance.

It depends on the number of doors and access. Tell us what you need and we will give you the earliest date when you call, and confirm it in writing.
