Annual Flat Entrance Door Checks in Witney

Witney landlords, managing agents and facilities teams can book flat entrance door checks with straightforward reports and fixed prices.

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 Witney.

Witney FAQs

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Witney?

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

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.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Witney?

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