Annual Flat Entrance Door Checks in Risca

We provide flat entrance door checks for buildings in Risca and the NP11 postcode district, from single doors to whole blocks and estates.

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 Risca.

Annual Flat Entrance Door Checks in Risca: questions

Which fire safety law applies in Risca?

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 price remedial work in Risca from another company's report?

Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Risca, or revisit specific doors if the report lacks detail.

Who is responsible for a flat entrance fire door?

It depends on the lease, but since the Fire Safety Act 2021 the Fire Safety Order clearly covers flat entrance doors in multi-occupied residential buildings, so the responsible person must account for them in the fire risk assessment even where the leaseholder owns the door.

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.
