Fire door inspections involve the application of a defined set of protocols/inspection/survey checks to determine the condition of an existing fire door. A pass and fail criteria is agreed and remediation and repair solutions are provided to bring the fire door back to its original condition.
A detailed report and full asset list is supplied upon completion of the survey. Our fire door inspectors have the appropriate knowledge, training and experience to conduct the required checks, and our assessors are FDIS & OfQual accredited.
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 outlines the legal obligations of the responsible person, it covers all elements of fire safety provisions within buildings. In BS 8214 (c.13) and BS 9999 (Annex L), routine inspections of fire doors are highlighted as necessary to maintain fire safety in buildings.
Our qualified fire door inspectors are aware of the British and European standards relating to fire doors and their installation as well as publications and best practice guidelines. Our inspections are offered alongside our capability to provide remediation, supply & installation of new door sets and ongoing pre-planned maintenance.
The key to passive fire protection is to contain the fire to a particular compartment or room, giving occupants enough time to escape and the fire service enough time to enter the building and tackle the fire. Designed to prevent the fire or smoke from spreading, a fire door is one of the most important fire safety products on your premises.
However, due the nature of fire doors being used in a functional way on a regular basis, they are at greater risk of damage and abuse, seriously compromising the fire protection in your building. This is why it’s key to ensure regular surveys and remediation, preventing the need for replacement, and more importantly, ensuring your buildings remain compliant.
MGR Fire specialise in the surveying of fire doors and frames. This includes front entrance doors-sets, emergency doors, plant room, risers, communal and bedroom doors etc.
We have a breadth of experience across many sectors, from busy commercial areas to the well-used corridors of hospitals to the vulnerabilities of social housing.
All our surveys are fully work-programmed with client stakeholders. Our well-trained fire door inspectors methodically work through a building, utilising the latest technology and software to manage inspections onsite and record the data in real time. We dynamically capture the essential details and condition of each door, creating a database for future ongoing inspections.
Areas of non-compliance are visually highlighted in a way that allows organisations to prioritise maintenance activity and expenditure. This is primarily to accommodate budget constraints, while demonstrating an understanding of the nature and scale of the problem.
It creates a door schedule, as required by RRO, and records the history of each door to provide information for analysis, both in terms of fire compliance and ongoing remedial cost. This ensures fire compliance can not only be achieved, but also maintained and recorded to satisfy Fire Service Enforcement Officers (FSEO), building control and other external bodies.
