Fire door repairs and remedial works in Suffolk, done to the evidence
Across Suffolk, from Ipswich to Lowestoft, we survey, supply and fit fire door repairs and remedial works for homes, blocks of flats and workplaces.
Send us the inspection report for your Suffolk building and we will price the remedial actions line by line. Many repairs in Suffolk can be completed in a single visit once matching components are on site.
Suffolk has a mix of buildings, from purpose-built blocks to converted houses and commercial premises. We tailor the programme to the building, not the other way round.
Working from your inspection report
Send us your inspection report or fire risk assessment actions. We price each defect line by line, carry out the work, and return a record of what was done to each door, with before and after photographs, so you can close the actions off.
What the rules say for Suffolk
England's framework applies in Suffolk. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.
For blocks over 11 metres in Suffolk, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.

Common questions
Do you provide fire door repairs and remedial works across Suffolk?
Yes. We cover all of Suffolk, including Ipswich and Lowestoft. Surveys and written quotes are free.
Do you use original manufacturer parts?
We use components that match the door's certification, which is often the manufacturer's own parts or products listed in its evidence.
Can I paint over intumescent strips?
Painting over smoke seals stops them working, and heavy paint can affect intumescent strips. Damaged or painted seals should be replaced with the specified type.
