Annual Flat Entrance Door Checks in Brentwood

Responsible persons in Brentwood can book flat entrance door checks with clear reports, useful photos and itemised prices.

Annual flat entrance door checks are the yearly checks of each flat's front door, and its self-closer, that regulation 10 requires on a best-endeavours basis in English residential buildings with storeys over 11 metres. We use the same method for buildings in Brentwood.

Annual Flat Entrance Door Checks in Brentwood: questions

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.

What does best endeavours mean?

The government fact sheet describes it as the responsible person deciding how to engage residents to gain access and keeping evidence, such as correspondence, where access is refused or not possible.

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

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

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Brentwood?

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