Annual Flat Entrance Door Checks in Pontypool

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

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. We use the same method for buildings in Pontypool.

Pontypool FAQs

Do you cover the area around Pontypool?

Yes. As well as Pontypool itself we cover nearby towns including Cwmbran, Risca and Newport.

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.

Which fire safety law applies in Pontypool?

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies in Wales, and the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed flat entrance doors in multi-occupied residential buildings are within scope.

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.
