Quarterly Communal Fire Door Checks in Loughborough: questions

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 Loughborough?

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

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.

Can you price remedial work in Loughborough from another company's report?

Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Loughborough, or revisit specific doors if the report lacks detail.
