Do Your Fire Doors Need Attention?

  • Missing / Damaged Intumescent Seals

  • Missing Signage 

  • Faulty Door Closers 

  • Damaged Ironmongery

​

During the fire risk assessment, the assessor may recommend improvements to be made to the door and it will be for the Responsible Persons to determine how these are implemented. If faults are found with the doors, then it may be necessary to undertake appropriate maintenance to ensure they remain fit for purpose or, where needed, to replace them. However, there is no requirement to replace a fire door simply because it does not meet the current standard under Building Regulations if the door remains in full working order from a fire safety point of view.
