Fire doors are one of the most unappreciated but still highly effective parts of any building's fire protection system. As these are so often overlooked for the benefits they bring during the devastation of a fire, it is a common case across the entire UK that fire doors are either of poor quality or not correctly installed. “We estimate that about 81% of all fire doors across the UK are not correctly installed. This can be a disaster when a fire breaks out. When a certified fire door is correctly installed, it can slow down the fire by as much as 30 minutes. If not, then the fire will get past the door within mere minutes,” says fire prevention expert and general manager of AJM Fires and Safety, Jonny Millard.
As it is so important to ensure that your fire doors are in the perfect state to give you the peace of mind you desire, this trusted team has launched a fire door maintenance plan. They refer to it as Fire Door Total Compliance. “When customers opt for our compliance plan, we take care to do fire door checks twice a year. During these fire door checks, we would make any needed adjustments and make sure that every part of the door from the door itself to the ironmongery and the hinges is in a perfect state. We also take care to replace any missing screws and that there are no excessive gaps. A gap between the door and the ironmongery should never exceed 3mm,” Millard expands on what their inspections on this plan entail.
Opting for this plan will ensure that you don’t have to deal with any unexpected expenses, would be able to budget correctly, and that you have a complete set of records that as a proprietor you’ve taken all the necessary precautionary steps to ensure the safety of your property.
“There are many benefits our clients enjoy from our compliance plan, but the most valuable attribute of it all is that you can enjoy peace of mind. You can be sure that when disaster strikes your property, that you’ve done all you could to ensure the safety of the lives in the building and to minimise the damage caused by the gutting flames,” Millard further states.
AJM Fire and Safety is a BM-Trada Q-Mark accredited company that means they comply with the British Standards for fire safety in buildings across the nation.
