Fire Doors in Loughborough
Programme fire door works for student and shared housing, managed apartments, education and commercial buildings across the Charnwood area.
Loughborough's fire door work is shaped by its student population. Large numbers of terraced and semi-detached houses are let as shared accommodation, alongside purpose-built student blocks, professional apartments and a substantial education and commercial estate.
That mix means most of what we do here is programme work rather than one-off call-outs: a defined schedule of doors across one or several properties, planned around tenancies, term dates or a managing agent's budget year, and delivered as a single set of visits.
Student and Shared Accommodation
Shared housing puts fire doors under constant pressure. Bedroom doors are propped, closers are unhooked, seals are damaged by furniture moves and latches wear out far faster than in a family home. By the end of a letting year a house can need work on almost every door.
The gap between tenancies is usually the only sensible window, so we plan bedroom, kitchen and escape route door works around turnaround dates wherever the schedule allows, and cost each house separately so landlords can phase work across a portfolio.
- Bedroom, kitchen and escape route doors in licensed HMOs
- Self-closing devices renewed and adjusted
- Intumescent and cold smoke seals replaced
- FD30 and FD30S replacement doorsets where repair is not appropriate
- Costs set out per door and per property
Managed Apartments and Blocks
For purpose-built and converted apartment buildings we handle flat entrance doors, communal corridor and stairwell doors, and riser and service cupboard doors. Flat entrance doors are the most sensitive part of that work because they are the resident's own front door and cannot be left out of action.
We arrange access individually, work through the block in a planned order so the escape route remains usable, and leave every entrance door secure, closing and latching at the end of each day.
Education and Commercial Buildings
Teaching, training and office buildings around Loughborough typically have long runs of cross-corridor doors, hold-open devices linked to the alarm, and heavy daily traffic that wears ironmongery quickly.
Work in these buildings has to fit the timetable. We phase corridors and floors so a wing can stay in use, and where doorsets need ordering in, we plan mobilisation around lead times so openings are not left compromised while stock arrives.
- Cross-corridor and stair enclosure doorsets
- Hold-open and free-swing devices checked and reinstated
- FD60 doorsets where the compartmentation strategy requires it
- Vision panels and glazing to the doorset specification
- Phased delivery around term time and holiday periods
Delivering a Schedule of Works
Where you already hold a fire door report or FRA action list, we price against it and confirm the recorded defects on site before starting, so the quotation reflects the doors as they actually are.
We do not produce formal inspection reports in-house; where one is required we can arrange an inspection through a specialist fire door inspection partner. For each door we work on we record what was carried out, so completed works can be set against the original schedule.
