Quarterly Communal Fire Door Checks in Motherwell

Quarterly Communal Fire Door Checks in Motherwell, Lanarkshire: every door logged, photographed and graded, with a clear price for anything that needs putting right.

In short: 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.

Questions from Motherwell clients

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Motherwell?

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.

What records do I get?

A dated log for every visit listing each door, its result and photos of anything that has changed or failed.

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.

Does regulation 10 apply in Motherwell?

No. Motherwell is in Scotland, which has its own fire safety law. The Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 cover workplaces, HMOs and other non-domestic premises; common parts of private blocks of flats are largely outside them.
