Quarterly Communal Fire Door Checks in Tonbridge

From the TN9 district outwards, we cover Tonbridge and neighbouring towns such as Royal Tunbridge Wells and Sevenoaks for quarterly communal fire door checks.

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.
