The Importance of Fire Door Surveys for Surrey Properties
Surrey is home to a diverse range of properties, from historic buildings in Guildford town centre to modern apartment developments in Woking and family homes converted to HMOs in Epsom. Each of these properties has unique fire safety requirements, and fire doors play a critical role in protecting lives.
Fire Doors: Your First Line of Defence
A properly installed and maintained fire door can hold back flames and smoke for up to 60 minutes, providing crucial time for evacuation. However, research by the British Woodworking Federation found that 76% of fire doors in the UK fail to meet required standards.
