Fire Door Inspection & Installation in Suffolk

Fire door inspection, installation and maintenance across Suffolk, from Ipswich and the coast to the market towns and villages of East, West and Mid Suffolk.

Fire Door Services Across Suffolk

Suffolk's buildings are unusually varied for one county. There are timber-framed wool towns such as Lavenham, Georgian market towns such as Bury St Edmunds and Sudbury, seaside resorts from Felixstowe to Aldeburgh, the county town of Ipswich with its Waterfront apartments, and growing towns such as Haverhill and Stowmarket.

Access Fire Doors is a FIRAS-certified fire door company based in Wymondham, Norfolk, and we cover the whole of Suffolk. We inspect, repair and install fire doors in rented homes, blocks of flats, hotels, care homes and commercial premises, and every inspection comes with a photographic report.

Fire Door Requirements Across Suffolk

The law is the same across the county. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person for non-domestic premises, and for the common parts of blocks of flats, to keep fire doors in efficient working order. What changes from place to place is the building stock: listed buildings in the market towns, converted houses in Ipswich, holiday lets on the coast and industrial units along the A14. HMO licensing is handled by the district and borough councils: Ipswich, East Suffolk, West Suffolk, Mid Suffolk and Babergh.

Across Suffolk, we inspect and install fire doors in:

  • Historic and listed buildings in the market towns
  • HMOs, converted flats and student accommodation
  • Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets on the coast
  • Care homes and supported living
  • Offices, warehouses and industrial units
  • Schools, colleges and community buildings

Fire Door FAQs: Suffolk

Who licenses HMOs in Suffolk?

HMO licensing in Suffolk is run by the district and borough councils rather than the county council: Ipswich Borough Council, East Suffolk Council, West Suffolk Council, Mid Suffolk District Council and Babergh District Council. Each sets its own licence conditions, which normally include fire safety measures such as fire doors.

Does Access Fire Doors cover the whole of Suffolk?

Yes. We are based in Wymondham, Norfolk, and cover the whole of Suffolk, from Lowestoft and the coast to Ipswich, Bury St Edmunds, Newmarket and Haverhill. Call or WhatsApp 07717 751004 to check availability for your property.

Do I need fire doors in my Suffolk property?

If your Suffolk property is an HMO, a block of flats, a care home, a hotel or a commercial building, fire doors are almost certainly part of its fire strategy, and the responsible person must keep them in working order under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Houses of three or more storeys and conversions built under Building Regulations may also require them.

How much does a fire door inspection cost in Suffolk?

The cost depends on the number of doors and the type of property. Contact Access Fire Doors for a free, no-obligation quote for your Suffolk property. Our inspections are FIRAS certified and give you the evidence insurers and licensing officers ask for.

What does a fire door inspection in Suffolk involve?

Our FIRAS-certified inspectors check every part of each doorset: the leaf and frame, intumescent and smoke seals, the self-closer, hinges, latches, glazing and the gaps around the door. You receive a report with photographs, the compliance status of each door and prioritised recommendations for any remedial work.
