The importance of having your fire escape or emergency exit serviced
In the event of a fire, faster evacuation is achieved with the use of regular and special exits. This also acts as an alternative if the regular exit route is blocked.
​
Fire escapes are required to be serviced and inspected every 6 months, in adherence with British safety standards, which includes testing and checking the operation of the door. For example, there are maximum forces allowed to open doors like this; if exceeded, it might mean someone can't open the door due to the strength required. Our engineers typically have gauges on their vans because of this.
Your building insurance, lease agreement or fire risk assessment may also require that your fire exits are maintained.
​
We carry out maintenance work on your fire doors, ensuring they are working perfectly and in line with current fire regulations. In our Risk Assessment Checklist, we document our findings for each door, so you can refer to this and have a record with evidence which may be part of a fire risk assessment. Contact us today so we can discuss a maintenance plan to keep your fire doors in perfect working order.
