Quarterly Communal Fire Door Checks in Newburn

Newburn landlords, managing agents and facilities teams can book quarterly communal fire door checks with straightforward reports and fixed prices.

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 Newburn.
