Annual Flat Entrance Door Checks in Shipley: questions

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Shipley?

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

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.

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 Shipley from another company's report?

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