Fire Door Remedial Works Greater London: Expert Solutions by Artius Fire Protection Ltd
Restoring and Maintaining Critical Fire Safety Barriers Across London
Fire doors represent one of your property’s most essential passive fire protection measures, containing smoke and flames to protect escape routes and save lives. At Artius Fire Protection Ltd, we specialise in comprehensive fire door remedial works throughout Greater London, ensuring these vital safety barriers function correctly when needed most.
Understanding Fire Door Deficiencies and Their Consequences
Fire doors are complex engineered systems with multiple components that must work together perfectly to provide effective compartmentation during a fire. Unfortunately, many fire doors develop deficiencies through:
- Natural wear and deterioration over time
- Improper installation by unqualified contractors
- Damage from daily use and improper operation
- Unauthorised modifications or inappropriate repairs
- Changes to regulatory requirements since original installation
These deficiencies can have serious consequences:
- Compromised fire resistance, allowing smoke and flames to spread
- Failed fire safety inspections and regulatory non-compliance
- Invalidated building insurance coverage
- Personal liability for building owners and responsible persons
- Most critically, increased risk to occupant safety
Recent inspections across Greater London have revealed that up to 80% of fire doors in commercial and multi-occupancy residential buildings have significant defects requiring remedial attention. Following the Grenfell Tower tragedy and subsequent regulatory reforms, fire door compliance has come under intense scrutiny, with severe penalties for non-compliance.
