Quarterly Communal Fire Door Checks in Meikle Earnock

We provide quarterly communal fire door checks for buildings in Meikle Earnock and the ML3 postcode district, from single doors to whole blocks and estates.

Quarterly communal fire door checks are three-monthly checks of every fire door in a building's common parts, including its self-closer. In England they are a legal requirement under regulation 10 for residential buildings with storeys over 11 metres; in Scotland the schedule is not set by that regulation, but it is a practical way to show fire doors are being looked after. We use the same method for buildings in Meikle Earnock.

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.
