Annual Flat Entrance Door Checks in Boston

Whether it is a block of flats, a school or a care home in Boston, 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 Boston.

Boston FAQs

Do you work in occupied buildings in Boston?

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

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.

Which fire safety law applies in Boston?

Boston 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.

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.
