Hello,
I am being told by the managing agent of the building (6 flats, none rented out so not an HMO) that ‘post Grenfell’ there are new regulations regarding fire doors in communal areas, and they need to be checked and assessed by a qualified fire door inspector.
Does anyone know if this is true? I have had a search on the Internet and is unclear to me what new regulations there are, and if actually there is a need for a fire door inspector to look at every door in the property. The fire door inspection qualification seems to be one generated by the fire door industry itself.
They are quoting quite a lot of money to do this so I thought I would ask here about it.
I am one of the joint freeholders of the building.
Any knowledge on this most appreciated.
Thank you
