Fire Door Glazing in Ipswich

Ipswich landlords, managing agents and facilities teams can book fire door glazing repairs with straightforward reports and fixed prices.

Common questions in Ipswich

Do you cover the area around Ipswich?

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

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.

Can I add a vision panel to an existing fire door?

Only if the door's evidence allows a panel of that size and position, and it is fitted with a matched glazing system.

What is the difference between integrity and insulation glass?

Integrity glass stops flames and smoke but allows heat through. Insulating glass also limits heat transfer, which matters where people or materials are close to the door.
