Common questions in Skelmersdale

Which fire safety law applies in Skelmersdale?

Skelmersdale 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.

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.

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

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

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.
