Common questions in Salisbury

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Salisbury?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Salisbury is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.

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.

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 you work in occupied buildings in Salisbury?

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