Quarterly Communal Fire Door Checks in Cowes
Whether it is a block of flats, a school or a care home in Cowes, 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 Cowes.
