For thousands of restaurants, hotels, offices, factories, hospitals, leisure facilities, and retailers across the UK, fire extinguishers and fire doors are in a position to act should a fire occur.

Legislation in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 states that all businesses must have fire extinguishers readily available and visible at all times. Fire doors also fall under this ruling, with the maintenance of them being a key requirement for every business to which the Order applies.

Churches Fire & Security technicians are working with industries to ensure these regulations are met, and that equipment operates as expected in an emergency.

Fire and security offering

Several technicians at Churches Fire & Security are multi-skilled, which means they are able to maintain different services across their fire and security offering. As part of the yearly service (BS 5306-3) required on fire extinguishers, one can also arrange for the fire doors to receive a visual inspection during the same service visit.

Whilst damage to extinguishers may be obvious; such as tags removed or denting, impairment of fire doors can be harder to spot.

Consolidated Maintenance

Consolidating fire safety maintenance reduces the need for multiple site visits

Although everyone walks through fire doors frequently, it can be easy to miss early signs of wear and tear. If not dealt with efficiently, the suitability of the door could be compromised in a real fire situation.

Consolidating fire safety maintenance reduces the need for multiple site visits. Recommendations on extinguishers and doors, as well as other services such as fire alarms and CCTV systems, can be provided whilst on the customer location, further saving time and money on additional visits.
