Basingstoke is mostly offices, warehouses and industrial units.
A fire door in a unit takes a lot more punishment than a flat door. Pallet trucks clip the frame. Somebody wedges the door open because they are carrying stock through all day. The closer arm gets bent and the bracket pulls out of the top.
What we do
We repair the door and leave your operation running. If that means a weekend, or the gap between shifts, we do it then.
Each door gets a number, a note of the fault, what we did and a photo of the finished door. Your facilities team can pass that to the insurer or the fire risk assessor as it is.
Plant rooms and risers
Nobody goes in there so nobody looks at the door. Check them. They still have to close and latch, and we regularly find cable runs pushed through the frame and no keep-locked sign.
The responsible person
Workplaces come under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Whoever controls the premises is the responsible person, and that is who we deal with.
From Luton
It's close to two hours. One or two doors isn't worth that for you or for us, but a day's work is.
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Basingstoke, not the Berkshire one.
