Fire Door Maintenance Contracts in Stowmarket

We provide fire door maintenance contracts for buildings in Stowmarket and the IP14 postcode district, from single doors to whole blocks and estates.

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 Stowmarket.

Stowmarket FAQs

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Stowmarket?

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

Is there a minimum term?

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

Yes. As well as Stowmarket itself we cover nearby towns including Ipswich, Bury St Edmunds and Sudbury.

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.
