Fire Door Replacement in Ipswich

Ipswich landlords, managing agents and facilities teams can book fire door replacements with straightforward reports and fixed prices.

Fire door replacement means removing a door that can no longer be repaired to its certified standard, or that was never a fire door, and installing a new fire-resisting doorset in its place. We use the same method for buildings in Ipswich.

Questions from Ipswich clients

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

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

How long does a replacement take?

Most single doorsets are replaced within a day, including making good. Doors are never left unable to close at the end of a working day.

When should a fire door be replaced rather than repaired?

When the leaf or frame is too damaged to repair within what its test evidence allows, when there is no evidence it is a fire door, or when the repair would cost more than a new doorset.

Which fire safety law applies in Ipswich?

Ipswich 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.
