Does your maintenance plan fit as well as your fire doors?

Getting a good fit with the right external team will pay dividends. Without a robust maintenance
plan in place for your fire doors, remember, they can quickly become ineffective when most needed
– namely in the event of a fire - leaving you open to legal repercussions.


With so many regulations and legislation around fire door maintenance, whoever you partner with
in the safe upkeep of your doors needs to be competent, specialist and systematic in their approach.
We’re pleased to say that, with multiple years of experience, our teams here at RW Maintain can
offer this service.

Looking at the situation objectively, there are several advantages to partnering with a trusted
external team when it comes to the safe and correct maintenance of your fire doors including:


1. Relieving estates and building managers of the difficulties in staying right up-to-date with
the ever-evolving fire regulations. They do have many other pulls on their time!
2. Experts in their field have a far better chance of spotting early the subtlest signs of wear or
damage, which can lead to non-compliance.
3. A pre-planned approach, with a structured maintenance schedule, will ensure compliance of
your fire doors and thus the safety of your staff and visitors.
4. By spotting potential issues early, expert repairs can be made to ensure safety isn’t
compromised and the lifespan of your doors is maintained, meaning potential replacements
don’t become necessary and overall providing a cost saving.
5. All inspections are logged, providing traceability and accurate records of maintenance
showing compliance isn’t sporadic but an ongoing commitment.
6. Identifying when fire doors will ultimately need replacing and providing a plan and
timescales for budget planning. Don’t be the recipient of unwelcome and unexpected large
bills due to lack of foresight!

Collaborating with fire door experts, such as ourselves at RW Maintain, will release your estate or
building managers’ time for wider maintenance issues ensuring the ongoing safety of all. We will
deliver a personalised plan which fits in with your team’s requirements and which is designed
around industry-specific legislation to meet current British Standards.


Don’t leave yourself or your managers open to prosecution for non-compliance, contact an expert at
RW Maintain today to discuss a bespoke package that Really Works for you from a company you can
really trust.
