Quarterly Communal Fire Door Checks in Ashington

From the NE63 district outwards, we cover Ashington and neighbouring towns such as Blyth and Cramlington for quarterly communal fire door checks.

Quarterly communal fire door checks are the three-monthly checks that regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 requires in multi-occupied residential buildings with storeys over 11 metres. They cover every fire door in the common parts, including its self-closing device. We use the same method for buildings in Ashington.

Ashington FAQs

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Ashington?

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Ashington?

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