Case Study: Fire Door Replacement – Central Manchester School
Project Overview
Fire Blocked 365 were appointed to carry out essential fire door replacement works at a primary school located in Central Manchester. Following a routine inspection and fire risk assessment, several existing doors were identified as non-compliant with current fire safety standards, requiring urgent attention to ensure the safety of staff, pupils, and visitors.
Our Approach
As a BM TRADA-accredited company, Fire Blocked 365 carried out a full site survey to assess all affected areas and determine the most efficient and compliant solution.
Working closely with the school’s facilities management team, we implemented a phased installation plan designed to minimise disruption during teaching hours. Each new door set was selected and fitted in accordance with current fire resistance and hardware regulations, ensuring long-term durability and ease of maintenance.
Scope of Works
Replacement of multiple FD30 and FD60 fire door sets, including frames, seals, and ironmongery.
Upgrading corridor and classroom doors to meet compartmentation requirements.
Installation of compliant vision panels, intumescent strips, and smoke seals.
Full BM TRADA certification and documentation provided upon completion.
