Quarterly Communal Fire Door Checks in Shrewsbury

We provide quarterly communal fire door checks for buildings in Shrewsbury and the SY1 postcode district, from single doors to whole blocks and estates.

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 Shrewsbury.

Quarterly Communal Fire Door Checks in Shrewsbury: questions

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Shrewsbury?

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

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.

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 Shrewsbury?

Yes. As well as Shrewsbury itself we cover nearby towns including Wellington, Telford and Loughton.
