Fire Door Installation - Huddersfield

Fire door installation Huddersfield

Fire doors work as part of a fire protection system within commercial, public, or residential housing developments where there are multiple residences (such as apartment blocs or flats) and where there is a legal requirement under building regulations.


Fire doors are specially designed doors that, when installed correctly, will provide either a 30-, 60-, 90, or 120 minute fire rating. These time periods are designed to allow staff, residents, or guests enough time to evacuate the premises safely.


The level of performance required for the doorset will depend on the situation in which it is being used and is linked to building regulation requirements. It is worth remembering that a doorset may have other performance requirements, such as security and acoustic performance, depending on its location and use within a building.

In any case, the doorset must be constructed in accordance with the supporting documentation based on the test evidence. Changing the specification of the doorset to meet specific end use requirements, such as adding incompatible security hardware, can completely undermine the fire performance of a doorset. 


ASG Property Services (Yorkshire) Ltd offer a comprehensive Fire Door installation service, and all work is carried out by our qualified engineers under the BM Trada Q-Mark Scheme.

Fire Door Maintenance- Huddersfield

Fire door maintenance - your legal obligations

Building owners are legally obligated to adhere to the requirements outlined in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which covers the building’s fire safety provisions. Regular inspections of fire doors are required to keep the standard of fire safety in buildings, as stated in BS8214 (c.13) and BS9999 (Annex L).


It is a common occurrence that the performance of a buildings fire door(s) has been compromised by either damage, removal of ironmongery or changes to the door furniture, or just general wear and tear. This is especially present in high traffic buildings such as schools, offices, and hospitality. Meaning, in a fire situation the door may not hold back a fire or the spread of smoke. 


Without adequate protection this means that the lives of occupants within the building will be at risk.


Our surveys include all internal fire doors. Each door is checked thoroughly to make sure it meets the requirements defined by BM Trada under the Q-Mark Scheme and in compliance with building regulations. 


A Comprehensive report will be provided to the responsible person, highlighting any non-compliant doors.  And a subsequent maintenance or remediation quote will also be issued. 


With this information available, the responsible person can come up with an effective maintenance plan to maintain compliance.

Legal responsibilities regarding fire doors

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (RRFSO)

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (RRFSO) outlines duties in regards to fire door safety and maintenance, including ensuring that fire doors always remain closed to help ensure a safe means of escape in the event of an emergency. Many people may be aware of their legal duties under the RRFSO, but they may be unsure of the complexity of fire door construction and how to properly conform to all guidelines.

Fire Door Testing

For example, they must know that the complete doorset has passed the appropriate tests to back up their manufacturers’ fire-resisting claims, and that the one they have been sold is supported by sufficient and relevant test evidence. They must know that it has been installed correctly, and that it has not subsequently been damaged simply through wear and tear or unwittingly compromised by unrelated building works.

Why use third-party certification for fire doors?

Third-party certificates set out a scope of approval that the product meets specific requirements or standards, and are issued by independent, UKAS accredited certification bodies such as BM TRADA. Although not a legal requirement, there are various third-party certification schemes available in the UK that assure of quality in manufacture, installation and maintenance so you can be confident in the performance of fire doors. Long-term, this assurance is very likely to be more cost-effective than doing without.

Peace of Mind

For peace of mind, THE RESPONSIBLE PERSON in charge of specifying fire doors should only stipulate third-party certified doorsets and ask to see the manufacturer’s certificate. Similarly, they should ask installers to demonstrate their competence by producing a relevant certificate. In both cases they should check that the certificate covers the use they intend, is in date, and is issued by a UKAS-accredited certification body.
 

BEYOND THE MINIMUM!

Third party certification of fire resisting products, as well as specialist installers, goes beyond the minimum required by regulations and offers a greater level of assurance that the fire resisting construction product will be capable of providing its performance as originally tested. Third party certification helps to demonstrate due diligence and provides confidence that in the event of a disaster, the products will perform as intended, helping safeguard the occupants of the building as well as protecting property and business.

Peace of mind from third-party certification

Fire doors have the potential to save lives and protect stock and premises. However, getting the specification, installation and maintenance of this specialist equipment right is extremely difficult, requiring expert skills, knowledge and competence. When dealing with high risk, it’s important to invest in extra peace of mind.

What are fire doors?

Peace of mind from third-party certification

Peace of mind from third-party certification

Fire doors allow access to enclosed spaces known as fire compartments. These areas are designed strategically to contain a fire and delay its spread long enough to allow people to escape safely. For that reason, fire doors are technically complex and highly specialised. Their manufacture, fittings, installation and management are extremely important in the overall fire safety of buildings. 

How do fire doors work?

Peace of mind from third-party certification

How do fire doors work?

Fire doors can only delay the spread of fire and smoke if they are maintained and closed correctly at the time of the fire. In response to heat, intumescent seals fitted to timber-based fire resisting doors expand to close the door edge gap and hold the door in position to prevent fire and hot gases breaching the doorset. 

What are smoke seals?

Fire Resistance Test Standards

How do fire doors work?

Some Fire resisting doorsets are required to provide a smoke control function. They must be fitted with a seal, that is designed to limit the smoke leakage around the door leaf at ambient temperatures. The function and performance requirements of a smoke seal are different to the intumescent seal and can be fitted in combination with the intumescent or within a separate carrier in the door leaf edge. 

Smoke Test Standards

Fire Resistance Test Standards

Fire Resistance Test Standards

The smoke test standards (e.g. BS EN 1634-3) determine the leakage of cold air/hot gases from one side of a doorset to the other, representing a measure of the control of the passage of smoke in case of fire.
 

Fire Resistance Test Standards

Fire Resistance Test Standards

Fire Resistance Test Standards

The door leaf, frame, glazing, associated hardware, intumescent and environmental seals, and any other components that make up the design, must all be tested together as a complete doorset to the relevant bench mark performance standard. The fire resistance test standards (e.g. BS EN 1634-1) evaluate the ability of the doorset to contain the fire (integrity), as well as limit the transfer of heat (insulation), and both are measured in time to failure.
