Common questions in Farnworth

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Farnworth?

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

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 work in occupied buildings in Farnworth?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Farnworth can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.

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.
