Across West Yorkshire, from Leeds to smaller towns and villages, we carry out quarterly communal fire door checks for landlords, housing providers, schools and businesses.
Quarterly Communal Fire Door Checks: 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.
