Annual Flat Entrance Door Checks in Hinckley

Whether it is a block of flats, a school or a care home in Hinckley, our flat entrance door checks follow the same door-by-door method and report format.

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 Hinckley.

Annual Flat Entrance Door Checks in Hinckley: questions

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Hinckley?

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Hinckley?

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

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.

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.
