Quarterly Communal Fire Door Checks in Irvine
Need a quarterly communal fire door check in Irvine? Tell us the building and roughly how many doors, and we will confirm a fixed price before booking.
In short: quarterly communal fire door checks are three-monthly checks of every fire door in a building's common parts, including its self-closer. In England they are a legal requirement under regulation 10 for residential buildings with storeys over 11 metres; in Scotland the schedule is not set by that regulation, but it is a practical way to show fire doors are being looked after.

In Scotland, fire safety duties for workplaces, HMOs and other non-domestic premises come from the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006, with new work designed to the Scottish building standards.
