What is Fire Door Remediation?
Fire door remediation is the process of repairing, upgrading or modifying an existing fire door so it performs as intended and meets current fire safety requirements.
Following a fire door inspection or fire risk assessment, defects are often identified that can affect the performance of a fire door. Rather than replacing the entire door set, many of these issues can be resolved through carefully planned remedial works.
Our experienced team will assess the condition of each fire door before recommending the most appropriate solution.
Typical remediation works include:
- Replacing damaged intumescent strips and smoke seals
- Adjusting door and frame gaps
- Replacing worn or non-compliant hinges
- Installing compliant door closers
- Upgrading locks, handles and fire-rated ironmongery
- Repairing or replacing damaged frames
- Replacing fire-rated glazing where required
- Adjusting doors to ensure correct operation
- Replacing damaged or non-compliant components
Every project is completed using appropriate products and installation methods to help restore the fire door’s intended performance.
