Quarterly Communal Fire Door Checks in Blackpool

Need a quarterly communal fire door check in Blackpool? Tell us the building and roughly how many doors, and we will confirm a fixed price before booking.

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 Blackpool.

Questions from Blackpool clients

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 the person doing the check have to be certificated?

The government fact sheet says the responsible person should be able to do the basic checks themselves and that a specialist is not needed for them. Many responsible persons still outsource the checks to make sure they happen on time and are properly recorded.

Do you cover the area around Blackpool?

Yes. As well as Blackpool itself we cover nearby towns including Thornton-Cleveleys, Fylde and Lytham St Annes.

Which fire safety law applies in Blackpool?

Blackpool is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential buildings.
