Fire doors & fire door inspection

Ensuring Continuous Protection

Millwood provide a range of fire doors and undertake fire door inspections throughout London and the South-East. Fire doors play a critical role in fire safety by compartmentalising a building and delaying the spread of fire and smoke. They are specially designed and constructed with fire-resistant materials to withstand high temperatures and maintain their integrity during a fire. Fire door inspections are essential to ensure these doors remain in optimal working condition and comply with safety standards.

Fire Door Inspections

Fire doors are subject to wear and tear, damage, and potential malfunctions, which can compromise their effectiveness in a fire emergency. Therefore, regular fire door inspections are essential to ensure they remain fully functional and compliant with safety standards. The frequency of inspections depends on factors like building usage and risk level, but typically, fire doors should be inspected at least every six months. During inspections, any identified issues, such as damaged seals, gaps, or malfunctioning hardware, must be repaired or replaced promptly to maintain the door's fire-resistant integrity.

Creating a more resilient environment

It's important to remember that regardless of the chosen fire rating, proper installation and regular maintenance by a qualified professional are crucial to ensure the door functions effectively in a fire emergency. Factors such as building type, occupancy, and potential fire risk should be considered when selecting the appropriate fire door rating for your premises.
