Annual Flat Entrance Door Checks in Portslade: questions

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.

Can you price remedial work in Portslade from another company's report?

Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Portslade, or revisit specific doors if the report lacks detail.

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Portslade?

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