Annual Flat Entrance Door Checks in Ebbw Vale

Need a flat entrance door check in Ebbw Vale? Tell us the building and roughly how many doors, and we will confirm a fixed price before booking.

In short: annual flat entrance door checks are yearly checks of each flat's front door and its self-closer. England's regulation 10 makes them a best-endeavours duty above 11 metres; in Wales the schedule is not set by that regulation, but checking flat doors every year is a sensible way to evidence maintenance.

Annual Flat Entrance Door Checks in Ebbw Vale: questions

Does regulation 10 apply in Ebbw Vale?

No. Ebbw Vale is in Wales and regulation 10 is English law. The Fire Safety Order 2005 still requires fire doors to be maintained, and many Welsh landlords follow the same quarterly and annual routine as good practice.

Do you cover the area around Ebbw Vale?

Yes. As well as Ebbw Vale itself we cover nearby towns including Merthyr Tydfil, Pontypool and Aberdare.

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.

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.
