Quarterly Communal Fire Door Checks in Hastings

Whether it is a block of flats, a school or a care home in Hastings, our quarterly communal fire door checks follow the same door-by-door method and report format.

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 Hastings.

Quarterly Communal Fire Door Checks in Hastings: questions

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Hastings?

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

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.

Which buildings need quarterly fire door checks?

In England, regulation 10 applies to multi-occupied residential buildings with storeys over 11 metres. All fire doors in the common parts must be checked at least every three months. Lift landing doors are excluded.

Can you price remedial work in Hastings from another company's report?

Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Hastings, or revisit specific doors if the report lacks detail.
