Quarterly Communal Fire Door Checks in Merthyr Tydfil

Responsible persons in Merthyr Tydfil can book quarterly communal fire door checks with clear reports, useful photos and itemised prices.

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. We use the same method for buildings in Merthyr Tydfil.
