Quarterly Communal Fire Door Checks in Newmarket

Whether it is a block of flats, a school or a care home in Newmarket, our quarterly communal fire door checks follow the same door-by-door method and report format.

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 Newmarket.

Quarterly Communal Fire Door Checks in Newmarket: 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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Newmarket?

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

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.

Can you price remedial work in Newmarket from another company's report?

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