FOI request (FOIR-794070445)

I am writing to request information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

I am currently undertaking research into the annual costs incurred by councils, and therefore taxpayers, for statutory fire safety compliance checks across social housing stock. In particular, I am interested in the costs associated with Regulation 10 fire door checks and emergency lighting inspections.

Please could you confirm the following:

1. Regulation 10 Fire Door Checks
• The total annual cost to the council for providing Regulation 10 fire door inspection/check services across all social housing stock.
• If the total annual cost is not available, please provide the cost per door per year.
2. Emergency Lighting Checks (Flick Tests)
• The total annual cost to the council for carrying out regular emergency lighting flick tests in accordance with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 across all social housing stock.
• If the total annual cost is not available, please provide the cost per block, per building, or per unit per year (whichever is most appropriate).
