Communal fire doors in Sudbury: how we work
We cover Sudbury and nearby Colchester for communal fire doors, with surveys booked around your building's access and occupancy. Each door is quoted individually, so you can see what every opening costs and why.
Whether your building is in central Sudbury or on its edges towards Colchester, survey and fitting dates are arranged around your access needs, with occupied buildings worked in planned phases.
Which rules apply in Sudbury?
New and replacement fire doors in Sudbury are specified under the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 makes the responsible person keep fire doors in working order, and in residential buildings with a storey above 11 metres regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds quarterly checks of communal doors and annual checks of flat entrance doors.
