Communal fire doors in County Fermanagh, done to the evidence
Our communal fire doors service covers all of County Fermanagh, across postcode districts including BT74, BT94 and BT93.
Communal corridors and stairs in County Fermanagh buildings take the heaviest use, so we choose finishes and hardware that keep working between checks. The evidence pack for each communal door in County Fermanagh is set out to support whatever checking regime your fire risk assessment sets.
Managing agents, landlords, schools, care providers, businesses and homeowners in County Fermanagh can all use one team for survey, supply, installation and evidence. We plan work around occupants and hand over a record for every door.
How do you work in an occupied building?
Escape routes have to stay usable. We phase communal door work so that no stair or corridor is left without protection overnight, keep a doorset ready to fit before removing the old one, and agree working hours with the building manager. Where a hold-open device is needed, we coordinate with your fire alarm contractor for the release interface.
