Questions from Huntingdon clients

Do you cover the area around Huntingdon?

Yes. As well as Huntingdon itself we cover nearby towns including Saint Neots, Cambridge and Peterborough.

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.

Which buildings need quarterly fire door checks?

In England, regulation 10 applies to multi-occupied residential buildings with storeys over 11 metres. All fire doors in the common parts must be checked at least every three months. Lift landing doors are excluded.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Huntingdon?

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