Questions from Wednesbury clients

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 work in occupied buildings in Wednesbury?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Wednesbury can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.

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.

Which fire safety law applies in Wednesbury?

Wednesbury is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential buildings.
