Check out the latest issue of News on the Block Magazine (issue 119) which features an editorial from our Director Paul Bennett, who talks about the important upcoming changes to Fire Door Inspection’s within Residential Blocks of Flats.
What’s new?
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.
