How does it work in Surrey?
Set up
We tag and reference every communal fire door on the first visit so each later check is like for like.
Check
Each quarter the inspector checks every door and closer and records the result.

You receive a dated log after every visit, with photographs of changes and defects.

Faults are priced on the spot; small items such as closer adjustment can be done on the same visit if you pre-approve them.

Quarterly Communal Fire Door Checks in Surrey: questions
Which buildings need quarterly fire door checks?
In England, regulation 10 applies to multi-occupied residential buildings with storeys over 11 metres. All fire doors in the common parts must be checked at least every three months. Lift landing doors are excluded.
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 to buildings in Surrey?
Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Surrey is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.
Do you work in occupied buildings in Surrey?
Yes. Inspections and repairs in Surrey can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.
