Ensuring Fire Door Compliance in a Chelmsford Apartment
Summary
After hearing about ExempliBuild's high standards through a word-of-mouth recommendation, a flat owner in Chelmsford, Essex reached out to us for assistance. Their recent Fire Door Survey, conducted by a third party, had identified several remedial actions required to bring their fire door up to regulatory compliance. Seeking a trusted and experienced contractor, they contacted ExempliBuild to carry out the necessary work.
About the Client
The project involved an individual flat owner within a residential apartment building in Chelmsford. Like many property owners, they were proactive about fire safety compliance and wanted to ensure their property met the required fire door safety regulations.
Challenges
Fire doors play a critical role in preventing the spread of fire and smoke, particularly in multi-occupancy buildings. Following a third-party Fire Door Survey, the client was advised that their door required remedial work to meet fire safety regulations. Without these updates, the fire door would not effectively protect escape routes in the event of a fire, potentially putting lives at risk.
The client needed a reliable fire door contractor to complete the work quickly and efficiently, ensuring that their fire door was safe, compliant, and met regulatory standards.
What We Did
After a thorough assessment of the existing fire door, we carried out all the required remedial works, ensuring full compliance with The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022. Our team completed the following:
Installed an overhead door closer to ensure the door self-closes properly, preventing the spread of fire and smoke.
Fitted a surface-mounted drop seal to improve the smoke containment of the door.
Adjusted the gaps surrounding the fire door to meet the necessary fire resistance standards.
Our work left the client’s fire door safe, fully functional, and compliant, offering them peace of mind and ensuring their property met legal fire safety standards.
Results
The client’s fire door was restored to full compliance, meeting all necessary fire safety regulations. They were highly satisfied with the work carried out and reassured that their property was now better protected in the event of a fire.
