At GWD Contractors, we partner with our clients to help them ensure their fire door installations are completed to the highest of standards. Our suitably knowledgeable and skilled engineers ensure every installation meets all regulatory requirements.

We supply materials that meet all relevant regulatory standards, including door blanks, door closers, vision panels, ironmongery and intumescent seals. Each of these materials need to be carefully considered to ensure they constitute a fully compliant installation for your premises. Every building is different and therefore there is no one size fits all approach. Every installation should be surveyed prior to installation to ensure each regulatory requirement is met and any specific risks considered.

Aside from using the correct specification of materials, installation should only be carried out by someone who is competent and understands their responsibilities with regards to the relevant regulations. Therefore, we have competent operatives who carry the Diploma in Fire Doors administered by FDIS. This offers you the peace of mind you need to ensure that your installations are completed in line with regulations and that they therefore provide an adequate level of fire protection.

Regular planned maintenance is crucial to ensure fire risks are continually managed. Adjusting hinges and closers, renewing worn intumescent strips and periodic maintenance of ironmongery will reduce the need for expensive repairs. Some of the repair and maintenance tasks we can help with:

Sometimes the unexpected happens, so if your fire doors are damaged, we can attend to put the defect right. We understand that such repairs are urgent, so if you need a speedy call out, just get in touch.

Of course, the risk of non-compliance is a significant burden on building owners of all types. Therefore, we are on hand to help you put right problems as they arise or even help to carry out a large schedule of repair and maintenance across your building or estate. Our advice is free and we are happy to share our experience to help you manage your fire doors effectively.

Fire door inspections are a comprehensive solution to establish if your premises are fully compliant with current fire safety legislation. Our suitably qualified inspectors can visit your premises and make any necessary recommendations to ensure compliance is achieved. Whether you have an existing register or not, we can work from existing records or provide a new one.

Our inspectors carry out a comprehensive inspection and audit of every fire door assembly in your building. We ensure that all components are in place and working effectively and, crucially, identify those that are not. On completion we will provide you with a comprehensive record of the inspection along with a recommendation of all remedial works that we advise be carried out to achieve compliance. Of course, we are competitive with our pricing and aim to carry out works without delay upon instruction.

Importantly, we always work closely with our clients to make the process as easy and stress-free as possible. We strive to help you understand your responsibilities and craft a roadmap to full compliance that minimises disruption and cost. So, whether you have a single fire door or an entire building in need of inspection, get in touch with us to discuss your individual needs.
