Questions from High Peak 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.

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in High Peak?

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.

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in High Peak?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. High Peak is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.
