Questions from Bradford clients

Which fire safety law applies in Bradford?

Bradford 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.

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Bradford?

It depends on the number of doors and access. Tell us what you need and we will give you the earliest date when you call, and confirm it in writing.

Which buildings need quarterly fire door checks?

In England, regulation 10 applies to multi-occupied residential buildings with storeys over 11 metres. All fire doors in the common parts must be checked at least every three months. Lift landing doors are excluded.

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.
