In flats there is a legally binding inspection regime where over 11m under the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022. Quarterly for communal doors, Annual for flat front doors. Smaller blocks still have to inspect but rather than being prescribed intervals the official Guidance (which has special status meaning if you follow it you are deemed compliant with the law but if you don't you will tend to be deemed non compliant) states 6 monthly for communal doors and still has annual for flat front doors but rather than 'best endeavours' as required in over 11m blocks (meaning you have to do everything you can to access the doors, not just try once and give up) it's more aspirational. Everywhere else it's usually seen as 6 monthly - although more frequent checks for propping, etc are usually inspected as part of weekly/monthly general inspections of workplace fire precautions.
