Annual Flat Entrance Door Checks in Llanelli

We provide flat entrance door checks for buildings in Llanelli and the SA15 postcode district, from single doors to whole blocks and estates.

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 Wales 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 Llanelli.

Questions from Llanelli clients

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.

Does regulation 10 apply in Llanelli?

No. Llanelli is in Wales and regulation 10 is English law. The Fire Safety Order 2005 still requires fire doors to be maintained, and many Welsh landlords follow the same quarterly and annual routine as good practice.

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Llanelli?

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.
