Annual Flat Entrance Door Checks in Worthing

We provide flat entrance door checks for buildings in Worthing and the BN11 postcode district, from single doors to whole blocks and estates.

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 Worthing.

Worthing FAQs

Do you work in occupied buildings in Worthing?

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

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 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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Worthing?

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