Questions from Barrow in Furness clients

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Barrow in Furness?

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

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.

Who is responsible for a flat entrance fire door?

It depends on the lease, but since the Fire Safety Act 2021 the Fire Safety Order clearly covers flat entrance doors in multi-occupied residential buildings, so the responsible person must account for them in the fire risk assessment even where the leaseholder owns the door.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Barrow in Furness?

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