Annual Flat Entrance Door Checks in Blackpool

Responsible persons in Blackpool can book flat entrance door checks with clear reports, useful photos and itemised prices.

Annual flat entrance door checks are the yearly checks of each flat's front door, and its self-closer, that regulation 10 requires on a best-endeavours basis in English residential buildings with storeys over 11 metres. We use the same method for buildings in Blackpool.

Common questions in Blackpool

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Blackpool?

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

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.

Yes. As well as Blackpool itself we cover nearby towns including Thornton-Cleveleys, Fylde and Lytham St Annes.
