FRA
Fire risk assessment
Assesses the premises as a whole. Fire door entries may be specific to a door or general, such as doors on a floor requiring attention.
Responsible Persons, Landlords & Agents
Fire Door Remedial Works From an FRA Action List
A fire risk assessment tells you what needs attention; it does not put the doors right. This page is for responsible persons, landlords, managing agents and property teams holding an FRA action list with fire door items, who need them scoped, priced, completed and recorded.
FRA Findings Versus A Door-By-Door Inspection
Parsec Fire Doors carries out fire door repairs, remedials, installation and replacement. We do not carry out fire risk assessments or produce formal inspection reports; see how partner inspections work and our other fire safety services.
Inspection
Formal fire door inspection
Records each door's condition and findings individually. Arranged through our external specialist partner where required.
Works visit
Parsec scoping visit
Confirms what works are needed to price them. It is not an inspection report and does not replace either document.
From Action List To Priced Schedule
1
Read the entries as written
Note the references used and separate door-specific items from general observations.
2
Scope on site where needed
General or unclear entries are confirmed at a works visit, and the doors identified.
3
Price door by door
Each item quoted against your reference, with repair separated from replacement and unclear items flagged rather than guessed.
4
Sequence to your priorities
Order and phasing follow the priorities the responsible person sets from the FRA, fitted around access.
5
Carry out the works
Seals, hinges, closers, latching, gaps, frames, glazing beads, signage or doorset replacement, as scoped.
6
Close out against your references
Per-door works record, photographs where agreed, and a list of no-access or outstanding items.
Repair Where Supported, Replace Where Justified
Not every FRA door item means replacement. Repair may be possible where the construction and condition allow and the work can follow the doorset's supported method with compatible components. Replacement may be the sounder outcome where the required performance cannot reasonably be restored or the doorset cannot be established. See how we decide between repair and replacement and what drives remedial pricing.
Photos And Documents That Speed Up A Quote
- The FRA, or the extracted fire door action list
- Any existing door-by-door inspection report
- Your door referencing or numbering system
- Photographs of both faces, edges, any label, closer and frame for each listed door
- Number of doors, floors and buildings
- Access arrangements, occupancy and any known no-access properties
Access And Occupied Buildings
In occupied buildings, works are arranged around residents, tenants or staff, with notice given through whoever manages the building. Temporary arrangements for doors on escape routes are agreed with the responsible person before work starts. Doors that cannot be accessed are recorded accurately with the dates actually attempted.
Illustrative Example
Illustrative only: a managing agent sends an FRA with six fire door items. Four name specific flat entrance doors and are priced from the photographs supplied. Two say only that stair doors need attention; a works visit identifies three doors and their needs, and the quotation notes that the scope was confirmed on site. The agent approves in two phases following the priorities set by the responsible person.
