Across Nottinghamshire, from Nottingham to smaller towns and villages, we carry out flat entrance door checks for landlords, housing providers, schools and businesses.
Annual Flat Entrance Door Checks: 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.

Annual Flat Entrance Door Checks in Nottinghamshire: questions
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.
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 Nottinghamshire?
Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Nottinghamshire is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.
Do you cover the area around Nottinghamshire?
Yes. As well as Nottinghamshire itself we cover nearby towns including Nottingham, Mansfield and Worksop.
