Fire Doors and Compartmentation

In domestic property and housing estates, they safeguard tenants by controlling fire within individual flats and corridors. In offices or civic centres, they safeguard escape paths and stop smoke from cutting off safe exits. In neighborhood structures, they allow staff to assist visitors out safely and without fear or confusion.

Every door we fit fulfills certified requirements, guaranteeing perfect sealing, positioning, and closing force. During inspections, we evaluate all parts, comprising of hinges, vision panels, and intumescent strips. Our reports highlight any issues and provide practical, plain-language recommendations for repair work or replacement. We likewise manage fire stopping and penetration sealing, protecting cable paths, pipework, and service voids that can otherwise become paths for fire spread.

Numerous older council structures have been modified repeatedly over time, often with little regard for fire integrity. Our surveys reveal those hidden weaknesses and bring them back into compliance.
