Questions from Urmston clients

Do you work in occupied buildings in Urmston?

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

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 Urmston?

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

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.
