The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 will make it a legal requirement from 23 January 2023 for responsible persons for all multi-occupied residential buildings in England with storeys over 11 metres in height to:

• Undertake quarterly checks of all fire doors (including self-closing devices) in the common parts; and,
• Undertake – on a best endeavour basis – annual checks of all flat entrance doors (including self-closing devices) that lead onto a building’s common parts.

For other buildings, regular fire door inspections are considered good practice.

Our inspection and maintenance service includes adjustment of closers, which is required on all fire doors to ensure they continue to work correctly and haven’t been tampered with. Our inspectors are also trained to carry out a lot of the maintenance work, which reduces the need to make return appointments.
