They cover every fire door in the common parts, including its self-closing device. We use the same method for buildings in Godalming.

Common questions in Godalming

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.

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Godalming?

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 regulation 10 apply to buildings in Godalming?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Godalming 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.
