In Ipswich
What fire door work actually looks like in Ipswich.
A lot of our Ipswich work is in occupied buildings. Tenants in, staff working, kids in classrooms. So we plan around that — phased installs, dust sheets, cleaning down at the end of each day. Nobody wants a contractor camping out for a fortnight.
Why Ipswich
What's specific about fire door work in Ipswich.
Every area has its own quirks — building age, tenure mix, the kind of assessor activity going on locally. Here's what shapes the work in Ipswich.
Mixed property stock
Ipswich has the usual mix of older conversions, post-war blocks and newer infill — each demands a slightly different approach to surveying and install, which is why we never quote without seeing the doors.
Tighter assessor scrutiny
Fire risk assessors covering Ipswich are flagging far more door issues than they were a few years ago. Most of our work here starts from a recent FRA action list.
Working around occupants
Most Ipswich jobs are in occupied buildings — flats, HMOs, care, offices. We phase the work so people aren't displaced.

Where we cover around Ipswich.
On every door
What we actually check on a Ipswich install.
Not a marketing list — this is the stuff that decides whether the door passes its next inspection or not.
- Architrave reinstatement without blocking the seal
- Door leaf certification label still present and readable
- Gap tolerance top, sides and threshold (3mm ±1, 8–10mm at the floor)
- Glazing apertures — bead type, pin spacing, intumescent under bead
- Hinge gauge, count and certification — three minimum on a fire door

FAQ
Fire door questions from Ipswich.
Do you supply the doors as well, or just fit?
Either. We can supply fully certified door sets for Ipswich jobs, or hang doors that you or your contractor have already bought.
Can you fit into the existing frames in Ipswich?
Usually, yes — provided the frame is sound and in tolerance. Saves money and time. We'll confirm on survey.
How quickly can you start a fire door job in Ipswich?
Most Ipswich enquiries get a survey within a few days, with installs the following week. Bigger programmes get booked around your access windows.
Will you take the old doors away?
Yes, removal and disposal are in the standard quote for Ipswich jobs unless you want them left on site for some reason.
Can you work in occupied buildings in Ipswich?
All the time. HMOs, flats, care, commercial. Phased works, dust kept down, residents and staff respected.
What ironmongery do you use?
Only certified components compatible with the door's tested spec. CE/UKCA-marked hinges, closers, latches, seals. No bodges.
What happens if a door fails inspection later?
If it's our install in Ipswich and it's an installation issue, we come back and sort it. That's part of the workmanship guarantee.
