Quarterly Communal Fire Door Checks in County Tyrone
Across County Tyrone, including rural and island locations, we carry out quarterly communal fire door checks for landlords, housing providers, schools and businesses.
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 Northern Ireland the schedule is not set by that regulation, but it is a practical way to show fire doors are being looked after.
