Questions from Thamesmead 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 you cover the area around Thamesmead?

Yes. As well as Thamesmead itself we cover nearby towns including Barking, Welling and Becontree.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Thamesmead?

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