Can a tenant repair their own fire door?

A loose hinge screw can be tightened by a tenant. Anything else goes to the landlord or the managing agent.

The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 cover blocks with two or more homes. They require residents to be given information about fire doors: keep them shut, do not tamper with self-closing devices, report faults straight away. New residents are told soon after they move in and everyone is told again every 12 months.

Found a fault? Write to the managing agent with the door number and a photo. They send us the list and we price each door.
