Common questions in Castleford

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Castleford?

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

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.

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

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

What does best endeavours mean?

The government fact sheet describes it as the responsible person deciding how to engage residents to gain access and keeping evidence, such as correspondence, where access is refused or not possible.
