To remain on the right side of the law you must have your fire door repaired by a professional installer. As the ‘responsible person’ for a building, you have a duty of care to protect persons in or around those premises in the event of a fire. This is according to Article 17 of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
Fire door repair companies Norwich: Longevity
Your fire door is fitted to prevent fire and smoke from spreading into other parts of the building. All fire door fittings must conform to BS476-22 and BS EN 1634-1 standards.
Failure to fit the fire door correctly means it may not perform as it should in the unthinkable event of a fire. When this happens, lives are put at risk. That’s because the fire door is designed to block flames and smoke, allowing people in the building time to flee.
You can expect your fire door to last for up to 20 years if it’s serviced and maintained property. Every six months is a good length of time in which to have your fire door surveyed and repaired if necessary. You’ll receive a notification of this survey in digital form. That way you can keep tabs on when the next survey is due. It also shows your insurance company that you have been maintaining the door, so should the worst happen and you have a fire on your premises, you will be covered for fire safety in this respect.
