Annual Flat Entrance Door Checks in Cardiff

Need a flat entrance door check in Cardiff? Tell us the building and roughly how many doors, and we will confirm a fixed price before booking.

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. We use the same method for buildings in Cardiff.

Annual Flat Entrance Door Checks in Cardiff: questions

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.

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 in Cardiff?

No. Cardiff is in Wales and regulation 10 is English law. The Fire Safety Order 2005 still requires fire doors to be maintained, and many Welsh landlords follow the same quarterly and annual routine as good practice.

Can you price remedial work in Cardiff from another company's report?

Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Cardiff, or revisit specific doors if the report lacks detail.
