Quarterly Communal Fire Door Checks in Newtownabbey

Newtownabbey landlords, managing agents and facilities teams can book quarterly communal fire door checks with straightforward reports and fixed prices.

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 Northern Ireland the schedule is not set by that regulation, but it is a practical way to show fire doors are being looked after. We use the same method for buildings in Newtownabbey.
