Quarterly Communal Fire Door Checks in Saddleworth

We provide quarterly communal fire door checks for buildings in Saddleworth and the OL3 postcode district, from single doors to whole blocks and estates.

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 Saddleworth.

Questions from Saddleworth clients

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Saddleworth?

It depends on the number of doors and access. Tell us what you need and we will give you the earliest date when you call, and confirm it in writing.

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.

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Saddleworth?

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