Questions from Worcester 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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Worcester?

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

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 cover the area around Worcester?

Yes. As well as Worcester itself we cover nearby towns including Droitwich, Great Malvern and Stourport-on-Severn.
