Quarterly Communal Fire Door Checks in Bearsden

Looking for a quarterly communal fire door check in Bearsden? We inspect, repair and replace fire doors across Bearsden and surrounding parts of Dunbartonshire, with a door-by-door report and every remedial item priced separately.

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 Scotland the schedule is not set by that regulation, but it is a practical way to show fire doors are being looked after.

Questions from Bearsden clients

Does regulation 10 apply in Bearsden?

No. Bearsden is in Scotland, which has its own fire safety law. The Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 cover workplaces, HMOs and other non-domestic premises; common parts of private blocks of flats are largely outside them.

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.

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.

Yes. As well as Bearsden itself we cover nearby towns including Clydebank, Renfrew and Bishopbriggs.
