Maintenance & Servicing in Kent
Looking for maintenance & servicing in Kent? We survey the doors first, then quote what the building needs — not a package off a price list.
- We survey, quote in writing, and only then book the install. No estimates over the phone that change on the day.
- Our engineers cover Kent as part of their standing area, so survey visits are usually arranged within a few working days.
- Fire-compliant locking and release on escape routes
- All makes installed, repaired and maintained
The short version
A maintenance contract keeps doors, locks, batteries and releases working, and keeps the audit records in a state your insurer and fire risk assessor will accept.
The Kent sites we fit this on are rarely starting from nothing. There is normally something already on the door, working badly or not at all, and the first real question is whether it is worth keeping.
Typical Kent applications
Commercial premises, managed blocks, schools and any site where a failed door is a real operational problem.
- Warehouses and depots — vehicle gate control, personnel doors and turnstiles on the pedestrian route.
- Retail and hospitality — back-of-house control, cash-office restriction and CCTV-linked door events.
- Commercial premises — multi-door fob or card systems with access levels, time zones and a full audit trail.
- Blocks of flats — digital directory panels, per-flat handsets, resident fobs and a managed trades window.
Scope of works
- Fire interface and emergency release verification
- Software updates, user list review and credential audit
- Written service report retained for compliance
- Scheduled inspection of every controlled door
What to insist on
- Insist the fire release is tested at every visit, not annually
- Get the user list reviewed — dormant credentials accumulate fast
- Agree the response time in the contract, not on the phone
From first call to handover
An engineer attends the site, checks each opening, confirms the cable route and establishes how the fire strategy affects the locking. You get a written quotation itemised per door with the hardware named. Nothing is ordered until you approve it. We survey, quote in writing, and only then book the install. No estimates over the phone that change on the day.
Commissioning is part of the job, not an extra visit. You finish with a working system, a tested fire interface, and a named person on your team who knows how to administer it.

Maintenance & Servicing in Kent — questions
Do you install maintenance & servicing in Kent?
Yes. Kent is part of our regular England coverage and maintenance & servicing is one of our core services. Give us the postcode and the number of doors when you enquire and we will confirm a survey slot.
What does maintenance & servicing cost in Kent?
Pricing is driven by door count and hardware rather than county. As a guide, a single controlled door lands between £750 and £1,500 installed, with multi-door sites working out at £600 to £1,100 per door. The survey is free and the written quote is fixed.
How often should access control be serviced?
Once or twice a year suits most commercial sites, with high-traffic entrances and automatic doors on the more frequent schedule. Fire-interfaced doors should be function-tested at every visit.
What does a service visit actually include?
Door-by-door inspection, lock and release testing, fire interface verification, battery and power checks, software and user-list review, and a written report you can hand to your assessor.
Does the door have to unlock when the fire alarm sounds?
On a designated escape route, yes. The locking must fail safe and release on alarm, free mechanical egress must be maintained, and every maglocked escape door needs a green emergency break-glass release. This is a life-safety requirement and we test it with the fire alarm at commissioning.
Can lost fobs be cancelled?
Yes, instantly. You delete the credential in the software and it stops working the next time it is presented. There are no locks to change and no cost, which is the main practical reason buildings move from keys to access control.
Can I answer the door entry from my phone?
Yes. App-connected panels forward the call to your mobile with video, so you can see who is there and release the door from anywhere with a signal. The panel-to-handset call still works on its own wiring if broadband drops.
