Annual Flat Entrance Door Checks in Fylde

From the FY6 district outwards, we cover Fylde and neighbouring towns such as Thornton-Cleveleys and Blackpool for flat entrance door checks.

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 Fylde.

Annual Flat Entrance Door Checks in Fylde: questions

Which fire safety law applies in Fylde?

Fylde is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential buildings.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Fylde?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Fylde can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.

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.

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.
