Quarterly Communal Fire Door Checks in Hertford

Hertford landlords, managing agents and facilities teams can book quarterly communal fire door checks with straightforward reports and fixed prices.

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 Hertford.

Questions from Hertford clients

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.

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Hertford?

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Hertford?

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