The crucial role of fire doors
A ‘fire door’ is unique and is physically different in construction to a normal ‘everyday’ door. A fire door must perform as per its designed requirement. Namely, to restrict the spread of fire for a specified time and in so doing so protect lives and offer protection to critical areas of the building.
Regular maintenance of fire doors
It is of the utmost importance that all fire doors are installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations and that they are checked regularly and an effective maintenance regime is invaluable. Maintenance must be carried out by a competent person and must be documented in accordance with regulations, with records of inspections, maintenance and remedial works, accessible with ease.
How often should you check your fire doors?
All fire doors have minimum inspection frequencies. It used to be easier to make a simple statement. Due to the different types of buildings and updates to fire regulations in the recent years there are numerous factors.
The least amount of time you can inspect is once a year, but depending on other factors you are likely required to inspect them more often. Contact us for free advice on what your frequency requirements are
Why do we prioritise repairs over replacements?
We prioritise repairs as opposed to replacements. This means our clients can protect more areas of their building instead of using large sections of their budget on expensive fire door replacements. Extensive replacements may not be required if you engage with a highly skilled fire door expert.
