Morecambe FAQs

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Morecambe?

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

Do you cover the area around Morecambe?

Yes. As well as Morecambe itself we cover nearby towns including Lancaster, Fleetwood and Thornton-Cleveleys.

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.
