Annual Flat Entrance Door Checks in Merthyr Tydfil

We provide flat entrance door checks for buildings in Merthyr Tydfil and the CF47 postcode district, from single doors to whole blocks and estates.

In short: annual flat entrance door checks are yearly checks of each flat's front door and its self-closer. England's regulation 10 makes them a best-endeavours duty above 11 metres; in Wales the schedule is not set by that regulation, but checking flat doors every year is a sensible way to evidence maintenance.

Annual Flat Entrance Door Checks in Merthyr Tydfil: questions

Do you cover the area around Merthyr Tydfil?

Yes. As well as Merthyr Tydfil itself we cover nearby towns including Aberdare, Rhondda and Ebbw Vale.

Which fire safety law applies in Merthyr Tydfil?

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies in Wales, and the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed flat entrance doors in multi-occupied residential buildings are within scope.

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.

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.
