Quarterly Communal Fire Door Checks in Bridgend

We provide quarterly communal fire door checks for buildings in Bridgend and the CF31 postcode district, from single doors to whole blocks and estates.

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 Wales the schedule is not set by that regulation, but it is a practical way to show fire doors are being looked after.
