Service Methodology & Framework
The Standards of Excellence
Compliance Context
Fire doors are designed to contain smoke, protect escape routes, and buy time for safe evacuation.
- Identify damage or deterioration
- Maintain safe, compliant escape routes
- Audit-ready evidence for insurers
- Ensure doors function correctly
- Support Fire Risk Assessment (FRA)
- Regular inspection is a requirement for the "Responsible Person" under current Fire Safety legislation.
Common Fire Door Issues
Defects often go unnoticed until an audit or incident occurs. We regularly identify:
Closing Failures
Doors that do not close fully into the rebate.
Excessive Gaps
Gaps exceeding the 3-4mm tolerance for smoke containment.
Damaged Seals
Missing or poorly fitted intumescent and smoke seals.
Poor Repairs
Non-compliant hardware or alterations that void fire ratings.
If a fire door is damaged or incorrectly fitted, it will not perform as intended.
Practical & Clear Methodology
Fortis avoids vague reporting by focusing on impact and required actions.
- Methodical Inspection: Every component from leaf condition to signage is checked.
- Plain English Findings: Defects are explained clearly with no technical jargon.
- Prioritisation: We highlight safety-critical faults versus minor remedial items.
- Our focus is on maintaining door performance and reducing real risk.
Joined-Up Compliance
Fire doors are closely linked to Fire Risk Assessments and Emergency Lighting. We ensure your data is consistent across all documents.
- Integration with FRA data
- In-house Engineer Accountability
