Common questions in Strood

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Strood?

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

Which buildings need quarterly fire door checks?

In England, regulation 10 applies to multi-occupied residential buildings with storeys over 11 metres. All fire doors in the common parts must be checked at least every three months. Lift landing doors are excluded.

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Strood?

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.

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.
