Common questions in Eccles

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Eccles?

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