Questions from Potters Bar clients

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.

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Potters Bar?

It depends on the number of doors and access. Tell us what you need and we will give you the earliest date when you call, and confirm it in writing.

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 Potters Bar?

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