Ipswich FAQs

Which fire safety law applies in Ipswich?

Ipswich is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential buildings.

What is the difference between a fire door and a fire doorset?

A fire door often means just the leaf. A doorset is the complete assembly, leaf, frame, seals and hardware, tested and supplied together. Doorsets remove much of the guesswork from installation and are usually the better choice for replacements.

Can you price remedial work in Ipswich from another company's report?

Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Ipswich, or revisit specific doors if the report lacks detail.

Do you provide paperwork?

Yes. You receive the product's certification or test evidence, an installation record and photographs for each door.
