Fire Door Inspection
Are fire door inspections a legal requirement?
Property owners are required by law (The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005) to make sure premises reach required standards of fire safety.
​
The BWF Fire Door Alliance advises conducting fire door inspections at least every six months. Doors in high-traffic areas may need more frequent checks to ensure their continued effectiveness.
​
At SWFD, our team of expert inspectors are equipped to thoroughly examine all fire doors within the South West region. With specialised training and a commitment to compliance with UK regulations, we maintain strong partnerships with top door manufacturers. Our asset-checking service is fully comprehensive, reflecting our dedication to detail.
Fire Door Maintenance
Fire doors are vital components in maintaining the safety of any building, serving as barriers to prevent the spread of fire and smoke. However, their effectiveness hinges on regular maintenance and adherence to standards.
According to a comprehensive study conducted by the Fire Protection Association, a staggering 76% of the 100,000 fire doors inspected in 2019 fell short of meeting the required standards, highlighting the critical importance of proactive maintenance.
​
Under Article 17 of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it is a legal obligation for building owners to ensure that fire doors are adequately maintained to perform their intended function in the event of a fire. Failure to do so not only compromises the safety of occupants but also violates regulatory requirements.
​
At SWFD, we specialise in conducting thorough inspections and carrying out necessary remedial works to ensure the optimal performance of fire doors. Our team of skilled technicians have gone through rigorous training to stay updated with the latest regulations and best practices.
​
In line with the ongoing efforts to enhance building and fire safety standards, the Building Safety Act, 2022 has been introduced to further strengthen regulations and ensure the protection of lives and properties across England.​
Fire Door Installation
The responsibility of ensuring proper installation of fire doors falls on the 'Accountable Person' within your organisation. It's crucial to understand that an incorrect installation can significantly compromise the safety of your business in the event of a fire.
​
With a variety of fire doors available, each differing in materials, frames, and seals, it's essential to conduct thorough research to grasp the advantages and disadvantages of each option.
To guarantee the correct installation and selection of fire doors tailored to your premises, it's imperative to partner with experienced fire safety professionals. Their expertise not only aids in identifying the most suitable fire door types but also ensures compliance with regulations.
