Importance of Fire Door Maintenance

Fire doors are a crucial part of any fire safety system, yet they are often overlooked. According to British Standard 8214, fire doors should be regularly inspected and maintained to keep their fire-resisting integrity.

Doors can develop faults over time through general wear and tear. Hinges can become loose or drop, self-closing devices can fail, smoke seals can become damaged, and ironmongery can become stiff or seized. If unaddressed, these issues can cause a fire door to fail to perform its vital function.

Our technicians will thoroughly inspect and test all components of your fire doors during maintenance visits. Any faults found are repaired immediately using high quality parts to restore full functionality. Regular maintenance prevents minor issues becoming major non-compliances.

Fire Alarm Testing and Servicing

British Standard 5839 states that fire detection and alarm systems should be tested and serviced at least annually. Our engineers use specialist equipment and detailed checklists to examine every component in your system. Sensors are checked for sensitivity, cables inspected for damage, alarm sounders tested for audibility, and battery backups ensured sufficient capacity. Any parts needing replacement are fitted with like-for-like alternatives from leading brands.

The Fire Safety Order 2005

The UK’s Fire Safety Order states in Article 17 that a Responsible Person has a suitable maintenance regime to ensure relevant equipment is kept in an efficient state. This includes fire doors.

LFS can implement a recording system for all work and inspections carried out on your premises to ensure full compliance with Article 17.

Article 18 requires the Responsible Person to appoint one or more competent persons to assist in undertaking the preventative and protective measures.
