Fire Door Inspections & Remedials
What is it?
Fire doors are a vital element in passive fire protection in every building. Without a fire door, a building’s fire protection compartmentation function is compromised.
Fire doors are specifically designed to slow the progress of a fire, smoke and any toxic gases. They halt the spread between compartments within the building – playing an essential role in safeguarding escape routes and ensuring evacuation can safely take place.
What we offer
It is a legal requirement for businesses within the UK to carry out regular maintenance on any fire safety provisions – including fire doors. Our team of experts will visually inspect all areas within your compartment zones, assessing their likely performance in the event of a fire. Defects can take numerous forms; which require an expert to identify and rectify.
Common defects include:
-Inappropriate firestopping
-Allowing smoke to pass from one compartment to another
-Gaps where compartment lines don’t fully encapsulate the compartment
-Simple penetrations, e.g. wiring or pipework
We will carry out a set of protocol and survey checks to determine the condition of your existing fire doors. Should any defects be found, which result in a safety fail, remedial actions will be discussed with your responsible person. AWB & Sons aim to bring your fire doors back to their original condition. An inspection certificate will be issued upon completion; with a detailed report.
