Annual Flat Entrance Door Checks in Mitcham

From the CR4 district outwards, we cover Mitcham and neighbouring towns such as Morden and Wimbledon for flat entrance door checks.

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 Mitcham.

Typical Mitcham fire door jobs

Questions from Mitcham clients

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.

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Mitcham?

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.

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Mitcham?

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