Quarterly Communal Fire Door Checks in Perth

Whether it is a block of flats, a school or a care home in Perth, our quarterly communal fire door checks follow the same door-by-door method and report format.

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

Questions from Perth clients

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.

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.

Which fire safety law applies in Perth?

In Scotland, fire safety duties for workplaces, HMOs and other non-domestic premises come from the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006, with new work designed to the Scottish building standards.

Can you price remedial work in Perth from another company's report?

Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Perth, or revisit specific doors if the report lacks detail.
