Fire door inspection in Petts Wood
Small blocks run by the freeholder or by the residents themselves.
Get a pricePetts Wood is in the London Borough of Bromley, with Orpington on one side and Chislehurst on the other.
Picture a small block. A few flats, one stair, often no managing agent.
Who is in charge
Often the residents. They own the freehold between them through a company, and one of them has ended up as the person who deals with the fire doors.
If that is you, you are the responsible person for the shared parts. You have a duty under the Fire Safety Order, and since 2021 that reaches the flat front doors.
You do not need to be an expert. You need somebody to look at each door and write down what is there.
What to expect
We start at the top flat and work down. A small block takes a morning.
A flat that is let will often have a different front door to its neighbour. One is the original. One was changed by an owner. We will give each its own line and its own photo.
Under 11 metres
A block this size is unlikely to be over 11 metres, which means the fixed checks in the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 don't apply. Nobody said the doors can be left alone, though. Your fire risk assessment should set how often they get looked at.
Price and travel
A small building starts from around £250 plus VAT. We drive in from Luton and book a few visits in the area for the same day.
