We tag and reference every communal fire door on the first visit so each later check is like for like.

Each quarter the inspector checks every door and closer and records the result.

Quarterly Communal Fire Door Checks in West Sussex: questions
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.
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 West Sussex?
Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. West Sussex is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.
Do you cover the area around West Sussex?
Yes. As well as West Sussex itself we cover nearby towns including Crawley, Worthing and Bognor Regis.
