Fire Door Maintenance Contracts in Exeter

Whether it is a block of flats, a school or a care home in Exeter, our fire door maintenance contracts follow the same door-by-door method and report format.

In short: 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.

Questions from Exeter clients

Can one contract cover buildings across the country?

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

Which fire safety law applies in Exeter?

Do you cover the area around Exeter?

How often should fire doors be maintained?
