Quarterly Communal Fire Door Checks in High Wycombe: questions

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.

Do you work in occupied buildings in High Wycombe?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in High Wycombe can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.

Do the checks apply in Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland?

No. Regulation 10 is English law. Fire safety law elsewhere in the UK differs in scope, and many landlords and factors adopt the same quarterly routine as good practice.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in High Wycombe?

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