Common parts, corridors, stair cores and risers often need regular checking and practical records.
Regulation 10
Regulation 10 fire door checks guide
A practical guide for responsible persons arranging checks of communal fire doors and flat entrance doors.
View Regulation 10 serviceWhat Regulation 10 changed
Regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 introduced specific fire door duties for multi-occupied residential buildings in England. In practice, responsible persons need a suitable process for checking communal fire doors, flat entrance doors and keeping records of what has been inspected and what needs action.
FDS helps by providing clear visual checks and reports that can feed into a practical remedial plan where defects are found.
Common items to consider
Flat entrance doors
Access arrangements matter. Managing agents may need resident communication so doors can be checked.
Remedial follow-up
Where issues are found, FDS can quote suitable remedial works separately and provide a completion record for works carried out by FDS.
