Responsible persons in Huddersfield can book flat entrance door checks with clear reports, useful photos and itemised prices.

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 Huddersfield.

Questions from Huddersfield clients

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

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

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Huddersfield?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Huddersfield 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.
