Annual Flat Entrance Door Checks in Coleraine

Responsible persons in Coleraine can book flat entrance door checks with clear reports, useful photos and itemised 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. We use the same method for buildings in Coleraine.

Coleraine FAQs

Do you work in occupied buildings in Coleraine?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Coleraine can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.

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.

Which fire safety law applies in Coleraine?

The Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 and the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010 require fire safety measures, including fire doors, to be maintained.
