Fire Door Maintenance Contracts in South Shields

From the NE33 district outwards, we cover South Shields and neighbouring towns such as Tynemouth and North Shields for fire door maintenance contracts.

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.

South Shields FAQs

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 South Shields?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. South Shields 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.

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

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