Quarterly Communal Fire Door Checks in Dyfed
We provide quarterly communal fire door checks across Dyfed, with the same report format and pricing as everywhere else we work.
Quarterly Communal Fire Door Checks: 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 Wales the schedule is not set by that regulation, but it is a practical way to show fire doors are being looked after.
