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 Bentley.

Annual Flat Entrance Door Checks in Bentley: 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.

Do you cover the area around Bentley?

Yes. As well as Bentley itself we cover nearby towns including Doncaster, Rotherham and Pontefract.

Which fire safety law applies in Bentley?

Bentley 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.
