Quarterly Communal Fire Door Checks in Finchley

We provide quarterly communal fire door checks for buildings in Finchley and the N3 postcode district, from single doors to whole blocks and estates.

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 Finchley.
