Ipswich FAQs

Do you cover the area around Ipswich?

Yes. As well as Ipswich itself we cover nearby towns including Harwich, Felixstowe and Stowmarket.

My door slams. Is that a fault?

Yes. A slamming door wears hinges and frames and can injure users. The closing speed and latching action can usually be adjusted.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Ipswich?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Ipswich is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.

What closer does a fire door need?

A closer tested to BS EN 1154 with a power size suited to the door's width and weight, and evidence it can be used on the door type. Concealed closers need specific test evidence for the door.
