Fire Door Maintenance Contracts in West Sussex
Across West Sussex, from Crawley to smaller towns and villages, we carry out fire door maintenance contracts for landlords, housing providers, schools and businesses.
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.

Fire Door Maintenance Contracts in West Sussex: 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 West Sussex?
Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. West Sussex is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.

Yes. As well as West Sussex itself we cover nearby towns including Crawley, Worthing and Bognor Regis.
