Annual Flat Entrance Door Checks throughout County Fermanagh, scheduled by postcode district to keep travel costs down.
Annual Flat Entrance Door Checks: 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.

Annual Flat Entrance Door Checks in County Fermanagh: questions
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 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 in County Fermanagh?
No. County Fermanagh is in Northern Ireland, where the Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 and the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010 apply.
Do you work in occupied buildings in County Fermanagh?
