Quarterly Communal Fire Door Checks in Denton

Responsible persons in Denton can book quarterly communal fire door checks with clear reports, useful photos and itemised prices.

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 Denton.

Questions from Denton clients

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Denton?

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

Does the person doing the check have to be certificated?

The government fact sheet says the responsible person should be able to do the basic checks themselves and that a specialist is not needed for them. Many responsible persons still outsource the checks to make sure they happen on time and are properly recorded.

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

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