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 fire safety law applies in Stockport?

Stockport 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.

Yes. As well as Stockport itself we cover nearby towns including Hazel Grove, Cheadle Hulme and Denton.
