The Importance of Fire Doors
A fire door is one of the most important and often overlooked, fire safety products in your building. The key to passive fire protection is to contain the fire to a particular compartment or room, giving occupants enough time to escape and the fire service enough time to enter the building and tackle the fire.
Fire doors are a fundamental part of this, designed to prevent the fire or smoke from spreading. However due the nature of fire doors being used in a functional way on a regular basis means they are at greater risk of damage and abuse, seriously compromising the fire protection in your building.
Fire Door Surveys
We offer a professional and expert fire door inspection service. Our Fire Door Inspectors are fully qualified to carry out inspections of your fire doors and prepare a detailed report on the fire doors on your premises.
Our qualified fire door inspectors are aware of the British and European standards relating to fire doors as well as technical publications and best practice guidelines.
LEGISLATION AND COMPLIANCE
We work to your Fire Risk Assessments and provide recommendations of remedial works necessary to achieve compliance including advice on suitable upgrading where necessary.
Fire safety legislation makes it clear that fire doors are installed and maintained as fit for purpose. BS 9999 gives guidance about inspections and how often they should be made so it is an area where you cannot afford to take chances.
After the inspection has been completed, a detailed report is written that will outline the condition of each doors and which parts need to be replaced.
Fire Door Installation
Sometimes it’s not possible to repair a fire door because damage to its integrity is so severe or the fire performance certification may limit scope for repairs and alterations. Or you may need fire doors fitting to new construction projects.
The correct installation of a fire door-set is a complex procedure requiring a clear understanding of the role played by each individual component. Fire safety legislation makes it clear that fire doors are installed and maintained as fit for purpose.
