Fire door surveys
Your vital defence against fire
The fire doors in your building help stop the spread of fire and smoke, acting as an effective barrier against the spread of toxic gases. As a key part of passive fire protection in a building, the condition and functionality of fire doors is essential to the safety of your occupants.
When we carry out a fire door survey at your premises, you receive:
-
A comprehensive inspection of all fire doors in your building in accordance with British Standards
-
Testing and analysis of the fire resistance of each of the fire doors, to identify if they are correct for their intended application (30 minutes, 60 minutes etc.)
-
Review of all fire door installation to ascertain if they are installed correctly
-
Checks for any damage, or potential for oil leakage
-
Advice on whether the intumescent and fire-rated hardware of each door is correct
-
A thorough, easy-to-understand report of our findings
-
Detailed recommendations for improvements or risks of non-compliance
-
Introductions to specialists to carry out installation and remedial work
