Fire Door Maintenance Contracts in Canterbury

From the CT1 district outwards, we cover Canterbury and neighbouring towns such as Whitstable and Herne Bay for fire door maintenance contracts.

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.

Canterbury FAQs

Is there a minimum term?

Contracts are normally annual with a 90-day notice period, so you can review the service at each renewal.

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Canterbury?

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.

Can one contract cover buildings across the country?

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

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Canterbury?

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