Sunray Fire Door Inspections & Survey Services

Will this mean a total replacement of Fire Doors, Sub-Frame and major disruption?

Providing the Sub-Frames are intact and the structure to which they are fixed to is stable, then no. However, that is not to say that the survey may make certain recommendation on certain fire doors in which the Sub-Frame of Sub-Structure should be replaced. We understand that disruption is timely and costly yet, compliance overrules. As each door is measured we will often recommend a straightforward replacement will give the corrective action and solution required and we will specify the Door type.

One key point to bear in mind with Timber Fire Doors, is that over time they will move, warp and change within the aperture of the frame and therefore the detailed measurements from the Survey will often mean the replacement door will be made slightly out of square or bespoke to ensure it works within an existing frame. Simply purchasing an off the shelf product and ignoring the survey dimensions will not work.

Following the Fire Door Survey, how can we ensure the right product is then supplied and installed for compliance, safety and integrity?

Sunray Timber Fire Doors, have two key elements to the business. The Fire Door Survey service, under FDIS and only one of 16 companies in the UK to hold full status. The other side to Sunray Fire Doors is it’s manufacturing plant which produces Fire Rated Timber Doors with Fire ratings from 30-120 minutes. Fire Stop partitioning and panels, Acoustic Doors, Xray Doors, Timber Security Doors, Flush framed Doors.

This ensures that once you have your Sunray Fire Door Survey, you have a choice of going to the open market to source what has been recommended or you can utilise the in-house ability and experience of Sunray Doors to manufacture the Fire Doors to meet the Fire Door Inspection Survey. Naturally this is a seamless transition between Fire Door Survey and manufacture and ensures what is required to meet criteria is supplied, installed and importantly covered by warranty.

Why would we need a Fire Door Survey?

All building owners and managers have a care of duty to its occupants in terms of providing a safe secure place of work or home. Recent events such as Grenfell Tower has highlighted that non-compliance of fire rated product can have disastrous consequences with the most tragic of outcomes. Whilst this is a rarity, we often see building cost at the detriment and compromise to safety.
