Quarterly Communal Fire Door Checks in Newton Mearns

From the G77 district outwards, we cover Newton Mearns and neighbouring towns such as Paisley and Rutherglen for quarterly communal fire door checks.

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. We use the same method for buildings in Newton Mearns.

Do you cover the area around Newton Mearns?

Yes. As well as Newton Mearns itself we cover nearby towns including Paisley, Rutherglen and East Kilbride.

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.

Does regulation 10 apply in Newton Mearns?

No. Newton Mearns is in Scotland, which has its own fire safety law. The Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 cover workplaces, HMOs and other non-domestic premises; common parts of private blocks of flats are largely outside them.
