Why London blocks need a plan
Many London blocks are over 11 metres, which brings Regulation 10 duties: communal fire doors checked every three months and flat entrance doors every year. Getting into flats, keeping records across a portfolio and fixing defects quickly is where most of the effort goes.
We handle the inspections, flat access, maintenance and any replacement doors, and every door ends up with a QR record you can show the London Fire Brigade, your insurer or your leaseholders.

Questions we get asked
How often should fire doors be inspected?
In England, residential buildings over 11 metres must have communal fire doors checked every three months and flat entrance doors checked at least once a year on a “best endeavours” basis, under Regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 (in force since 23 January 2023).
For other buildings, the frequency should be set by your fire risk assessment. Many buildings use a professional inspection every six months with routine visual checks in between. Busy or high-traffic doors may need checking more often.

How much does a fire door inspection cost?
It depends on how many doors there are, how easy they are to reach (flat entrance doors need resident access) and what condition they are in. We quote after a short call about your building, so the price reflects the actual job.
Most of the real cost in fire door compliance sits in the repairs an inspection finds, not the inspection itself. That’s why every Burnham survey comes with a prioritised repair quote.

What areas do you cover?
We’re based in London and cover London and the South East on regular rounds. We also take on inspections, installation, maintenance and fire stopping anywhere in the UK, on the same standards and with the same records.

Does Regulation 10 apply in Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland?
No, it applies in England only. Wales follows the Fire Safety Order and Fire Safety Act but not Regulation 10’s check schedule. Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own fire safety laws.
