Quarterly Communal Fire Door Checks in Slough

From the SL1 district outwards, we cover Slough and neighbouring towns such as Windsor and Maidenhead for quarterly communal fire door checks.

Quarterly communal fire door checks are the three-monthly checks that regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 requires in multi-occupied residential buildings with storeys over 11 metres. They cover every fire door in the common parts, including its self-closing device. We use the same method for buildings in Slough.

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

Does the person doing the check have to be certificated?

The government fact sheet says the responsible person should be able to do the basic checks themselves and that a specialist is not needed for them. Many responsible persons still outsource the checks to make sure they happen on time and are properly recorded.
