Annual Flat Entrance Door Checks in Richmond

Richmond landlords, managing agents and facilities teams can book flat entrance door checks with straightforward reports and fixed 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 Richmond.

What kind of buildings in Richmond need fire door work?

Many Richmond buildings are mixed use, with flats above shops and offices, where the stair door protecting the flats is often the weakest point. Where a Richmond building has had a recent fire risk assessment, send it over and we will price against its actions.

Common questions in Richmond

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 Richmond?

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

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

Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Richmond, 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.
