Shop door repairs in Ipswich

After a forced entry in Ipswich or elsewhere in Suffolk, a door can look fine but still have a bent frame or a damaged lock pocket.

Rear and fire exit doors at Ipswich premises matter as much as the front entrance, and repairs anywhere in Suffolk should keep any fire rating intact. If your Ipswich shop door catches the floor or only locks when pushed, the cause is usually a worn pivot, hinge or closer, rather than a failed door.

Ipswich is around 134 miles from our Birmingham base. Teams travel, so the distance is planned into the job and shown on your quote. Postcodes we work in around here include IP1, IP2, IP3, and we also cover Felixstowe, Colchester and Sudbury nearby.

What do we fix in Ipswich?

Dropped or sagging doorWorn hinges, pivots or floor springs let the door sink. We reset the door or replace the worn part so that it clears the floor again.
Worn seals and thresholdsPerished brushes, gaskets and threshold plates let in rain, grit and cold air, and they are simple to renew.
Rear and fire exit doorsSteel, timber and composite doors at the back of the shop get the same checks, and any fire rating is kept in place.

What does it cost in Ipswich?

Repairing a shop door costs £125 to £595 ex VAT per door, with glass, locks and floor springs priced on their own if they also need work. Photos and a short video of the door moving often let us price it remotely. If they do not, a charged diagnostic visit, from £125 ex VAT, finds the cause, and we give you that cost first.

Door repairs can be arranged before opening or after closing, so an Ipswich shop or any other premises in Suffolk can keep customers coming through. Most fitting can be done early, late or at weekends, so an Ipswich shop can keep trading through the work.

Common questions

Do you work in IP1, IP2, IP3?

Yes. Ipswich and the IP1, IP2, IP3 postcodes are covered, as is the rest of Suffolk. Send your postcode with your enquiry and we will come back to you with the next step.

Why does my shop door keep sticking?

A sticking door usually has worn hinges or pivots, a tired floor spring or a frame that has moved. Seals and thresholds can also catch. Planing or forcing the door rarely cures it, so we find the cause first and repair that.

Can a shop door be repaired after a break-in?

Often yes, if the leaf and frame are still straight. Bent aluminium sections and torn lock pockets may need replacing. We can provide photos and an itemised invoice for your insurer, although whether a claim is paid is always their decision.

What do I do if my shop in Ipswich is broken into?

Call the police first if a crime is in progress, then call our 24/7 line on 0800 088 6341. We will tell you the arrival time when you call, and board up or reglaze so the premises are secure.
