Annual Fire Door Inspection Form (Printable PDF)

A printable annual inspection form for flat entrance fire doors

Flat entrance doors are the hardest part of regulation 10. They must be checked at least every 12 months, but the duty is on a "best endeavours" basis — and you can only rely on best endeavours if you can evidence the access attempts you made. This free printable form gives you a per-flat annual inspection record plus a structured best-endeavours access-attempt log for unresponsive leaseholders.

What's inside

• A per-flat inspection record covering the same visual checks as a communal door
• A best-endeavours access log: dates, contact method, and outcome for each attempt
• A summary section for flats where access was not gained, ready to present to a regulator
• A reference footer citing regulation 10 (SI 2022/547) and the annual flat-entrance duty

Who it's for

Managing agents carrying out the annual flat entrance door checks required by regulation 10, especially where leaseholder access is a recurring problem.
