Fire Door Check Log

Fire door checks for blocks of flats, planned and recorded on your phone.

Regulation 10 · Blocks over 11 metres

In blocks where the top storey is more than 11 metres above ground, communal fire doors must be checked at least every 3 months, and flat entrance doors at least every 12 months on a best-endeavours basis, with a record of every attempt to get access. Government guidance says these routine checks should be simple enough not to need a specialist. Fire Door Check Log guides you door by door and keeps the evidence ready for the fire service.

  • A register of every communal and flat entrance fire door
  • On-phone checklists based on the government’s fire door guidance, including the self-closing test
  • Access letters and a flat-by-flat best-endeavours log
  • Faults flagged until the repair is recorded
  • PDF records and CSV export for your fire safety file

Built for Directors, responsible persons and managing agents of blocks over 11 metres.

FAQ

Compliance questions for blocks of flats.

What compliance duties apply to blocks of flats in England?

It depends on the building. Every block with two or more flats and shared areas residents use to escape must give residents fire safety instructions and fire door information, under Regulations 9 and 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022. Where the top storey is more than 11 metres above ground, communal fire doors must also be checked at least every 3 months, and flat entrance doors at least every 12 months on a best-endeavours basis. If one boiler or heat pump supplies heating or hot water to more than one flat, the system is a heat network regulated by Ofgem, and operators and suppliers of existing networks must register by 26 January 2027. Your fire risk assessment and other duties still apply.

Who is responsible for compliance in a block of flats?

Usually the freeholder, the residents' management company or right to manage company, or a managing agent acting for them. Our tools are built for the volunteer directors, freeholders and managing agents who carry these duties.

Is each Dutywise product a separate subscription?

Yes. Resident Fire Safety is £59 per building per year, Fire Door Check Log is £99 per building per year, and Communal Heating Compliance starts at £199 per heat network per year. You can set up and preview each one free, and cancel any time before renewal.

Will your tools make us compliant?

No tool can do that on its own. Our products explain the duty in plain English, produce the documents and keep the records, but they don't replace a fire risk assessment, a specialist inspection or legal advice.

Do your products cover Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland?

No. Our products are built for blocks of flats in England.
