What are the laws governing fire doors?

 The building owner or responsible person has the duty of ensuring all fire equipment are in working order under Section 17 of the Fire and Safety Act 2005.

 Section 18 requires the responsible person to appoint one or more competent person(s) to help ensure that all fire measures are up to date and compliant.
 
 A competent person is someone who has sufficient training in fire door installation and fire door inspection qualifications.
 
Liverpool Joinery Services Limited has all relevant up to date qualifications and instals fire doors on daily basis.
 
 BS: 8214 governs installation, this is very important as this shows how the gaps around the frames need to be filled with fire stopping material, as smoke spread around that area is extensive in a fire.
 
Liverpool Joinery Services Limited can check all fire door components to ascertain, if they are CE marked or UKCA marked now we are out of Brexit.
CE marked products have been tested in controlled areas and are proven to work under extreme temperatures.
 
We can carry out intrusive fire door inspections, should you be concerned with a recent fire door installation in Liverpool. This consists of removing an architrave to see if the frame to wall gap, has been correctly fire stopped.
 
If this is not required, we will check each door and components and all the gaps present around the door and frame and prepare this information on an easy-to-follow PDF format document with remedial action.
 
Remedial action means we will give you guidance on how to get your fire doors compliant if we were to find any issues. With our years of knowledge, we can guide you in the right direction, to become compliant.
