Questions from Wigan clients

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 Wigan?

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

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.

Do you cover the area around Wigan?

Yes. As well as Wigan itself we cover nearby towns including Hindley, Ashton in Makerfield and Westhoughton.
