Quarterly Communal Fire Door Checks in Weymouth

Quarterly Communal Fire Door Checks in Weymouth, Dorset: 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 Weymouth.

Common questions in Weymouth

Do you work in occupied buildings in Weymouth?

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

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.

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Weymouth?

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