Quarterly Communal Fire Door Checks in Staines

We provide quarterly communal fire door checks for buildings in Staines and the TW18 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 Staines.

Questions from Staines clients

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

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

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Staines?

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