Fire Door Installation for a Nationwide Property Manager
Summary
A nationwide Property Manager identified a non-compliant fire door at a bin store within a block of flats in Buckinghamshire. Following a Fire Door Survey, it was confirmed that the existing door was not suitably fire-rated and required a full replacement to meet UK fire safety regulations. Looking for a trusted contractor to handle the installation from procurement to final finish, they contacted ExempliBuild for a professional solution.
About the Client
As a nationwide Property Manager, the client is responsible for ensuring that all fire doors within their managed buildings meet the necessary safety and compliance standards. Bin store doors, in particular, must be fire-rated and properly fitted to prevent the spread of fire and smoke within a high-risk area.
Challenges
The Fire Door Survey, carried out by a third party, determined that the existing door did not provide the required level of fire resistance. In a block of flats, a non-compliant bin store door can increase fire risk, making it crucial to upgrade to a fully compliant fire door.
The challenge was to replace the entire door set, ensuring it met fire safety standards while maintaining a professional and cohesive finish that matched the surrounding doors within the property.
For property managers, finding a specialist contractor capable of sourcing, installing, and finishing fire-rated doors to a high standard is essential.
What We Did
After carefully assessing the survey findings, we took a turnkey approach, handling every stage of the fire door installation:
Procured a brand-new, fire-rated door and frame to meet compliance requirements.
Cut and lipped the door to ensure a precise fit, maintaining its fire-resistant integrity.
Sourced hardware to match the existing doors in the property, including a coded digilock for secure access.
Colour-matched the paint for a professional and seamless finish that blended with the building’s design.
The result was a compliant, secure, and aesthetically consistent fire door, ensuring both fire safety and functional usability.
Results
The newly installed fire door now meets all fire safety regulations, offering increased protection for residents by containing potential fires and smoke within the bin store area. The Property Manager was highly satisfied with the quality of the work, the professional finish, and the efficient service provided by ExempliBuild.
