Common questions in Scarborough

Which fire safety law applies in Scarborough?

Scarborough is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential buildings.

Do the checks apply in Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland?

No. Regulation 10 is English law. Fire safety law elsewhere in the UK differs in scope, and many landlords and factors adopt the same quarterly routine as good practice.

Do you cover the area around Scarborough?

Yes. As well as Scarborough itself we cover nearby towns including Bridlington, Beverley and Redcar.

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.
