Quarterly Communal Fire Door Checks in Clwyd
Quarterly Communal Fire Door Checks throughout Clwyd: from Wrexham to Buckley, every door is inspected, photographed and logged, and remedial work is priced door by door.
Quarterly Communal Fire Door Checks: 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 Wales the schedule is not set by that regulation, but it is a practical way to show fire doors are being looked after.
