Quarterly Communal Fire Door Checks in Whitehaven

Quarterly Communal Fire Door Checks in Whitehaven, Cumbria: every door logged, photographed and graded, with a clear price for anything that needs putting right.

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 Whitehaven.

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Whitehaven?

It depends on the number of doors and access. Tell us what you need and we will give you the earliest date when you call, and confirm it in writing.

Which fire safety law applies in Whitehaven?

Whitehaven is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential buildings.
