Quarterly Communal Fire Door Checks in Harrogate: questions

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Harrogate?

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

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Harrogate?

It depends on the number of doors and access. Tell us what you need and we will give you the earliest date when you call, and confirm it in writing.

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.

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.
