Quarterly Communal Fire Door Checks in Salford

Whether it is a block of flats, a school or a care home in Salford, our quarterly communal fire door checks follow the same door-by-door method and report format.

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 Salford.

Common questions in Salford

Do you work in occupied buildings in Salford?

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

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.

Which fire safety law applies in Salford?

Salford is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential 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.
