Quarterly Communal Fire Door Checks in Flint

From the CH6 district outwards, we cover Flint and neighbouring towns such as Deeside and Buckley for 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.

Questions from Flint clients

What records do I get?

A dated log for every visit listing each door, its result and photos of anything that has changed or failed.

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.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Flint?

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

Which fire safety law applies in Flint?

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies in Wales, and the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed flat entrance doors in multi-occupied residential buildings are within scope.
