North Watford FAQs

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.

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 North Watford?

Yes. As well as North Watford itself we cover nearby towns including Watford, Bushey and Rickmansworth.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in North Watford?

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