Professional Fire Door Installers in Christchurch

A fire door is not simply a heavier version of an ordinary internal door. It forms part of a carefully designed assembly intended to resist the passage of fire and, where required, smoke for a specified period.

For the door to perform as intended, the door leaf, frame, hinges, seals, closer, latch, glazing and other ironmongery must be compatible. The installation must also follow the relevant evidence and manufacturer instructions. Incorrect gaps, unsuitable components or careless alterations can affect the performance of the entire assembly.

Coreworks Property Services offers professional fire door installation and replacement throughout Christchurch. Its fire door specialists understand the importance of accurate fitting, suitable components and careful attention to detail.

Whether the project involves one replacement door or several doors across a managed building, the team can discuss the requirements and recommend a suitable course of action.

Fire Door Installation for Different Properties

Fire door requirements vary according to the type of property, its design and how people use it. Coreworks Property Services works in domestic and commercial settings, including apartments, residential complexes, offices, retail premises, care homes and houses in multiple occupation.

Flats and Apartment Buildings

Fire doors are particularly important in blocks of flats because they help protect communal corridors, stairways and other escape routes. Flat entrance doors may also need to prevent fire and smoke from spreading from an individual home into shared areas. Managing agents, freeholders and responsible persons may need installation work following a fire risk assessment, professional inspection or planned refurbishment. Coreworks Property Services can inspect the relevant doors, identify suitable work and complete installations or remedial repairs where required.

Houses in Multiple Occupation

A house in multiple occupation often has more complex fire safety requirements than a single family home. Correctly selected and installed fire doors may be needed to protect escape routes and separate higher risk areas. The necessary specification will depend upon the property and its fire safety assessment. Coreworks Property Services can provide practical advice and a quotation based on the work required.

Commercial Properties

Offices, shops, care homes and other commercial premises may require fire doors to protect corridors, stairways, service cupboards and areas presenting a greater fire risk. A professional installation helps ensure that the complete doorset works as intended. Coreworks Property Services can support business owners, facilities managers and responsible persons who need new doors, replacements or remedial work in Christchurch.

Domestic Properties

Fire doors may also be required in certain homes, including some properties with integral garages, loft conversions or protected escape routes. The correct solution depends upon the design of the building and the work being undertaken. Homeowners should seek suitable advice before buying a door or altering an existing opening. Coreworks Property Services can assess the project and explain the options clearly.

Fire Door Requirements for Your Property

The type and rating of fire door required will depend upon the building and the location of the opening. Relevant information may come from building plans, a fire risk assessment, an inspection report or current building requirements.

FD30 doors are designed to provide approximately 30 minutes of fire resistance under test conditions. FD60 doors are designed to provide approximately 60 minutes. However, a higher rating is not automatically necessary or appropriate for every location.

Coreworks Property Services can review the information available and help you select a suitable doorset. The team will not rely on a generic recommendation when the requirements should be considered for the individual property.

FD30 and FD60 Fire Doors

The terms FD30 and FD60 describe fire resistance ratings achieved under testing. An FD30 doorset is designed to resist fire for approximately 30 minutes, while an FD60 doorset is designed to provide approximately 60 minutes of resistance under the relevant test conditions.

The higher rating is not automatically the correct choice for every opening. The required specification depends upon the property, location of the door, building design and relevant fire safety information.

Coreworks Property Services can review the requirements and help clients select an appropriate doorset. Where smoke control is required, the specification may also include suitable smoke seals.
