Annual Flat Entrance Door Checks in Stoke-on-Trent: 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.

Which fire safety law applies in Stoke-on-Trent?

Stoke-on-Trent 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.

Can you price remedial work in Stoke-on-Trent from another company's report?

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

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.
