Why Fire Doors?
Expert Fire Safety Services in Yorkshire
Buildings are compartmentalized to delay the spread of fire and smoke from one area to another. These compartments are typically connected by doors to facilitate the passage of traffic.
Fire door sets play a crucial role during a fire. When closed, they act as barriers to prevent the spread of fire and smoke, while also providing a means of escape.
Most fire deaths are not caused by burns, but by smoke inhalation, which can lead to the inability to exit the building. ⚠️ Smoke can incapacitate victims very quickly!
All of our fire doors are rigorously tested to meet the appropriate regulations, ensuring they are fit for purpose and provide absolute assurance of your building's and occupants' safety.
Regulatory Compliance
Our fire door services comply with Building Regulations Approved Document B, Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and British Standards BS 9999:2017 and BS 8214:2016 for fire door assemblies.

Common Fire Door Failures
Fire doors are crucial for building safety, but they must be installed and maintained correctly to be effective. Here are the most common fire door failures we encounter during inspections.
Incorrect Installation & Damage
Doors that aren't properly fitted or have sustained damage can compromise the entire fire safety system.
Incorrect Gap Tolerances
Gaps that are too large allow smoke and fire to pass through, while gaps that are too small prevent proper door operation.
Poor Rebate Engagement
When doors don't fully engage with the frame rebate, they can't provide the necessary fire resistance.
Faulty Door Closers
Door closers that don't function properly prevent doors from closing automatically, which is essential during a fire.
Incorrect Door Furniture
Hinges, handles, and other hardware must be fire-rated and properly specified for the door type.
Failed Fire Door Seals
Intumescent and smoke seals that are damaged or missing allow fire and smoke to bypass the door.
Incorrect Glazing Specification
Fire-rated glazing must be properly certified and installed to maintain the door's fire resistance rating.
Concerned About Your Fire Doors?
Don't wait until it's too late. Our qualified fire door inspectors can identify these issues and ensure your fire doors are compliant and safe.
