Ormskirk FAQs

Can you price remedial work in Ormskirk from another company's report?

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

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Ormskirk?

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

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.
