FIRE DOORS

Effective fire-resisting doors are vital to ensure occupants are able to evacuate to a safe place. Correctly specified and installed doors will hold back fire and smoke, preventing escape routes becoming unusable as well as preventing the spread of fire.

BMTRADA Q-MARK CERTIFICATION SCHEME

BM-TRADA Logo

Our passive works technicians, under the BMTRADA Q-Mark fire door scheme, primarily focus on fire door installations and fire door maintenance (Accepted Repair Techniques – ART’s) that we can complete as a certificated company.

Specialist / competent contractor

These services are those of the ’specialist / competent contractor’ referred to in the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: fire door guidance (accessible).

6. Routine checking of fire doors: what you need to do

6.3. The checks under regulation 10 should be simple and basic.You should not need to engage a specialist to carry these out. With appropriate instruction, caretakers, managing agents, housing officers and maintenance personnel should be able to do them (for example in the course of other routine checks and visits to the building) as the checks are only visual and do not involve, for example, use of tools.

6.4. The Responsible Person will need to ensure that the necessary arrangements are in place to address any issues identified. The extent to which the individual appointed to carry out the checks will also be able to address the issues or complete any repairs will be determined by their skills, knowledge and experience of fire doors. Where inspections identify the need for repair or replacement of any fire door (for example communal or flat entrance door), this work must be undertaken by a competent contractor as soon as reasonably practicable.

Our fire door services

We therefore do not provide a regular fire door inspection service as the BMTRADA Q-Mark fire door maintenance scheme works best when an initial fire door survey / inspection is required followed by maintenance / repairs as per the schemes Accepted Repair Techniques (ART’s) or fire door installation if replacement doorsets are required.

Our technicians remain available for maintenance (repairs) and installation quotations.
