Fire Door Maintenance Contracts in Suffolk: questions
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.
Is there a minimum term?
Contracts are normally annual with a 90-day notice period, so you can review the service at each renewal.
Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Suffolk?
Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Suffolk is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.
Do you work in occupied buildings in Suffolk?
Yes. Inspections and repairs in Suffolk can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.
