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 Romford.

Annual Flat Entrance Door Checks in Romford: questions

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Romford?

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

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.
