Annual Flat Entrance Door Checks in London: questions

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in London?

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.

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.

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 to buildings in London?

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