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

Tyne and Wear is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential buildings.
