From 23 January 2023, those responsible for all multiple-occupancy residential buildings in England with storeys over 11 meters in height must:
- Undertake quarterly checks of all fire doors (including self-closing devices) in the common parts.
- 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.
Kester and his team of trained fire door inspectors can assist you in ensuring that your building complies with the new regulations. The following information explains how the inspection reports are produced, along with an example QR code. The QR codes are placed upon a sticker on each fire door along with a unique reference number.
The onsite inspections are recorded using a world leading fire door and compliance software. The software allows us to produce an inspection report within 24 hours of undertaking the survey onsite. It also provides you with a summary of each site along with a more detailed report of each door. Using this software also allows us to list any works required to the doors onsite, along with a cost of undertaking these works. We can also notify you of any upcoming inspections to ensure that a continuous audit is in place.
Working alongside a QR code provider we are pleased to offer our clients the opportunity for each report to be viewed using a smart device whilst onsite. In order to review the last report on either a communal fire door or residential fire door, simply hold your camera phone to the QR code. Whilst hovering over the QR code a link will be displayed taking you to the most recent report. The QR code is placed on a sticker on each door and the link updated on the completion of an inspection report.
As previously mentioned, each sticker is placed upon each fire door with the QR code and a unique reference number. The unique reference number is also noted within the inspection report so it can be easily crossed referenced and reviewed.
