Quarterly Communal Fire Door Checks in Dundee

We provide quarterly communal fire door checks for buildings in Dundee and the DD1 postcode district, from single doors to whole blocks and estates.

In short: 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 Dundee 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.

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.

Do you cover the area around Dundee?

Yes. As well as Dundee itself we cover nearby towns including Arbroath, Perth and Glenrothes.

Which fire safety law applies in Dundee?

In Scotland, fire safety duties for workplaces, HMOs and other non-domestic premises come from the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006, with new work designed to the Scottish building standards.
