Questions from Ipswich clients

Do you use the original manufacturer's parts?

Where they are available and appropriate. Otherwise we use components with suitable fire test evidence for the door type.

Can a damaged fire door be repaired or does it need replacing?

Many faults can be repaired: closers, hinges, seals, small edge damage and beads. Holes through the leaf, major splits, delamination or damage to the frame often mean the door should be replaced. We will tell you which applies and why.

Do you cover the area around Ipswich?

Yes. As well as Ipswich itself we cover nearby towns including Harwich, Felixstowe and Stowmarket.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Ipswich?

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