Banstead FAQs

Do you work in occupied buildings in Banstead?

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

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Banstead?

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

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.

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.
