Fire doors play a critical role in the overall passive fire protection in any building, and are a vital component in any fire safety strategy. Fire-resisting doorsets are one of the most important measures to safeguard the means of escape from fire as well as minimising damage to buildings and their contents from fire and smoke. As a buildings responsible person there is a duty of care to ensure any inspections, remedials or installations are carried out by a competent person.
We offer full management and delivery of carpentry/joinery packages on both labour only and supply and fit basis.
We have built a reputation for quality and reliability and work closely with the main contractor to ensure the contracts are delivered on time and budget.
Fire doors are specialist doors which have been tested against the elements and purpose-built to withstand fires for as long as possible. They enable buildings to compartmentalise and delay the spread of fire from one area to another, and form a crucial part of a passive fire protection strategy.
Certified fire doors will be given a fire-resistance rating, which details the length of time the doorset and its materials will be able to withstand smoke and fire – either 30 or 60 minutes, depending on the rating. They are fitted with intumescent strips (or seals) which expand to fill the gap between the door and the frame.
Fire doors have a few vital safety features and really can be the difference between life and death. Two of the most important functions fire doors have are:
· When opened, they provide a means of escape
Because of their importance in protecting lives, it is imperative that fire doors receive regular inspections. Frequency is likely to depend on many factors, including the age, condition and location of the door and can range from monthly to annually.
Yes, we can install or maintain fire doors under our BM Trada Q mark accreditation. We provide an electronic document evidencing all works carried out by ourselves to either start or contribute to the ‘golden thread’ of information around the doorsets.
The ‘Golden Thread’, as set out in the Building Safety Act, aims to support the sector in managing their buildings safely by the collection of consistently updated digital records for buildings. This starts from design to manufacture, installation, inspection and maintenance and provides an up to date evidence trail of the buildings information.
As well as installing and maintaining fire doors, we also offer the full range of carpentry and joinery services including 1st fix, 2nd fix, kitchens, roof structures and much more.
