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.

The regulations will also require responsible persons to provide to residents of all multi-occupied residential buildings with two or more sets of domestic premises (that have common parts) information on the importance of fire doors to a building’s fire safety.

Contact PLP today if you require a fire door inspection.

PLP are members of the National Association of Fire Door Inspectors and trained to carry out Fire Door Inspections to your property.

A full report is issued on completion of the inspection with information, including any defects found together with photos and remedial work required to every door inspected in a truly customer friendly format.
