Legal Framework

Understanding Fire Door Regulations

A plain-English breakdown of your legal duties for residential buildings over 11 metres. We translate complex Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 into actionable compliance workflows.

The 11-Metre Threshold

Regulations apply specifically to multi-occupied residential buildings with storeys over 11 metres in height. Responsible Persons must proactively assess and record the status of fire barriers.

Communal Doors

Quarterly checks are a strict legal requirement. This covers all fire doors in common areas, including cross-corridor doors and staircase enclosures, ensuring self-closing mechanisms operate flawlessly.

Flat Entrance Doors

Annual checks must be conducted on a "best endeavour" basis. Accountable persons must log attempts to gain access and educate residents on the critical role these doors play in compartmentalization.

Stay Audit-Ready at All Times

Our platform logs every quarterly and annual inspection with unalterable timestamps, proving your compliance to local Fire and Rescue Services.
