Thatcham FAQs

Can you check the doors from the corridor only?

Part of the check can be done from outside, but the self-closer and the inside face need access to the flat. Where we cannot get in we record what was checked and why the rest was not possible.

What if a leaseholder has fitted a non-fire-rated door?

The report flags it with photographs and the evidence available. The responsible person and fire risk assessor then decide on the action, which may include asking the leaseholder to replace it.

Can you price remedial work in Thatcham from another company's report?

Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Thatcham, or revisit specific doors if the report lacks detail.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Thatcham?

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