Annual Flat Entrance Door Checks in Ballymena

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

Annual flat entrance door checks are yearly checks of each flat's front door and its self-closer. England's regulation 10 makes them a best-endeavours duty above 11 metres; in Northern Ireland the schedule is not set by that regulation, but checking flat doors every year is a sensible way to evidence maintenance.

Ballymena 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.

Do you cover the area around Ballymena?

Yes. As well as Ballymena itself we cover nearby towns including Newtownabbey, Carrickfergus and Belfast.

Does regulation 10 apply in Ballymena?

No. Ballymena is in Northern Ireland, where the Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 and the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010 apply.
