Sorkin Brown contacted our team at Abbey Fire Stopping to carry out essential passive fire protection remedials across their premises. Following a recent fire risk assessment, a targeted maintenance program was required to address minor fire door defects and seal breaches in fire-rated walls to ensure full ongoing regulatory compliance.
Project Breakdown
Challenges:
- Everyday use had caused minor damage to existing fire door seals, hinges, and closers, compromising their integrity
- Small gaps around utility cabling and pipe penetrations through compartment walls required proper fire stopping
- Works needed to be completed efficiently during business operations without disturbing daily office routines
The Solution:
- Repaired existing timber fire door sets by replacing worn intumescent cold-smoke seals, adjusting door alignments, and fitting certified self-closing mechanisms
- Sealed small service breaches and wall joints using certified intumescent sealants and fire-rated compounds
- Issued clear, updated compliance records for each repaired fire door and sealed penetration to update the site's fire safety logbook
Abbey Fire Stopping brought all passive fire protection assets back to certified performance standards, ensuring Sorkin Brown maintains a fully safe and compliant environment for employees and clients.
