Quarterly Communal Fire Door Checks in Ormskirk

From the L39 district outwards, we cover Ormskirk and neighbouring towns such as Maghull and Skelmersdale 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. We use the same method for buildings in Ormskirk.
