Fire Door Maintenance Contracts in Berkshire
Across Berkshire, from Reading to smaller towns and villages, we carry out fire door maintenance contracts for landlords, housing providers, schools and businesses.
Fire Door Maintenance Contracts: A fire door maintenance contract is a planned arrangement where your fire doors are inspected on a fixed cycle and minor faults are corrected on the same visit, at agreed rates, so the doors stay compliant between full inspections rather than being fixed only when they fail.
