Annual Flat Entrance Door Checks in Runcorn

Runcorn landlords, managing agents and facilities teams can book flat entrance door checks with straightforward reports and fixed prices.

Annual flat entrance door checks are the yearly checks of each flat's front door, and its self-closer, that regulation 10 requires on a best-endeavours basis in English residential buildings with storeys over 11 metres. We use the same method for buildings in Runcorn.

Questions from Runcorn clients

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Runcorn?

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.

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Runcorn?

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

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.
