Who has to check flat front doors?

In a residential building over 11 metres with two or more sets of domestic premises, the responsible person does.

That is the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022. Regulation 10 asks for communal fire doors to be checked every three months.

Flat entrance doors get checked once a year, on a best endeavours basis. A resident can refuse access, and that is why the wording is what it is.

Records need to be kept. A note of what was found, and what was done about it.

Below 11 metres the same rules do not apply in the same way. The responsible person still has a duty under the Fire Safety Order to keep fire safety measures in good order, so a bad door is still a problem.

Checks are one thing. Repair is another. When a check finds a fault, that is when you call us.
