Fire Door Maintenance Contracts in Durham

Durham landlords, managing agents and facilities teams can book fire door maintenance contracts with straightforward reports and fixed prices.

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. We use the same method for buildings in Durham.

Common questions in Durham

Can one contract cover buildings across the country?

Yes. Multi-site contracts are scheduled by region and reported in one register.

Are repairs included in the contract price?

Routine adjustments are included on each visit. Parts and larger repairs are charged at the rates agreed in the contract, so there are no surprise quotations.

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Durham?

It depends on the number of doors and access. Tell us what you need and we will give you the earliest date when you call, and confirm it in writing.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Durham?

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