Quarterly Communal Fire Door Checks in Gillingham

Whether it is a block of flats, a school or a care home in Gillingham, 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 Gillingham.

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.
