Annual Flat Entrance Door Checks in Musselburgh

Need a flat entrance door check in Musselburgh? Tell us the building and roughly how many doors, and we will confirm a fixed price before booking.

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 Scotland the schedule is not set by that regulation, but checking flat doors every year is a sensible way to evidence maintenance.

Musselburgh FAQs

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.

Do you cover the area around Musselburgh?

Yes. As well as Musselburgh itself we cover nearby towns including Edinburgh, Kirkcaldy and Glenrothes.

Does regulation 10 apply in Musselburgh?

No. Musselburgh is in Scotland, which has its own fire safety law. The Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 cover workplaces, HMOs and other non-domestic premises; common parts of private blocks of flats are largely outside them.
