Fire Door Maintenance Contracts in Folkestone: questions

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

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

How often should fire doors be maintained?

BS 9999 suggests fire doors are checked at least every six months, and more often in busy areas. In England, regulation 10 sets quarterly checks of communal doors in residential buildings over 11 metres. A contract sets the frequency for each building based on its use and risk.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Folkestone?

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

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.
