Common questions in Islington

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.

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

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

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Islington?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Islington 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.
