Fire Door Services for Suffolk's County Town
Ipswich is Suffolk's county town and its largest, with a property mix to match. Around the Waterfront, former warehouses and new blocks now hold apartments, offices and the University of Suffolk, while the surrounding streets are lined with Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many of them divided into flats or let as shared houses.
Access Fire Doors provides FIRAS-certified fire door inspections, certified installations and repairs across Ipswich. The same standard applies whether you manage a single converted house or a large block with dozens of flat entrance doors, and every inspection comes with a photographic report.
Fire Doors in Ipswich Flats and Shared Housing
In multi-occupied buildings, the problems are often the same: flat entrance doors replaced with ordinary doors, closers removed because they are noisy, and communal doors propped open. In buildings over 11 metres tall, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 require quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual checks of flat entrance doors, as far as reasonably practicable. Ipswich Borough Council licenses larger HMOs, and licence conditions commonly cover fire doors and other fire safety measures.
In Ipswich, fire doors are particularly important for:
- Waterfront apartment blocks and converted warehouses
- Purpose-built student accommodation and student HMOs
- Victorian and Edwardian houses converted into flats
- Offices, retail units and mixed-use buildings in the town centre
- Care homes, supported living and healthcare premises
- Hotels, schools and community buildings
Our Ipswich Fire Door Services
Fire Door Inspections
We inspect communal doors, flat entrance doors and doors to plant rooms, bin stores and service risers, checking certification, gaps, seals, hinges, closers, latches and glazing. Results are set out door by door with photographs, which makes it easier to plan repairs across a large building.
Fire Door Installation
Our NVQ Level 3 qualified installers supply and fit certified FD30 and FD60 doorsets, from a single flat entrance door to phased replacement across a whole block. Doors are fitted to the manufacturer's instructions with matching ironmongery, seals and signage.
Maintenance and Repairs
We carry out repairs and planned maintenance for managing agents, landlords and businesses, from adjusting closers and replacing seals to rehanging doors and repairing frames.
