Fire door replacement for academy trusts and maintained schools.
Multi-academy trusts and maintained schools across Cornwall carry a live fire-door duty on classroom, corridor, hall and back-of-house doors. Post-Grenfell DfE and ESFA scrutiny has raised the bar on evidence and documentation, and Ofsted premises inspections routinely surface non-compliant doorsets.
Regulatory context for academy trusts
School fire strategy sits under Building Bulletin 100 (BB 100 Design for fire safety in schools) plus Approved Document B and the 2005 Fire Safety Order. Classroom doors on protected escape corridors are typically FD30S, kitchen and boiler room FD60, with certified vision-panel and self-closer specifications.
Our approach with academy trusts
School-holiday installation windows (Easter, Summer, October, Christmas), CSCS + enhanced DBS operatives, ESFA / DfE-compliant documentation, and single-visit whole-corridor delivery. Every doorset we install carries independent third-party certification (BM TRADA Q-Mark, Certifire or IFC) covering the exact tested slab, frame, seal, hardware and glazing combination. Installation follows the manufacturer's tested method and hands over with the manufacturer certificate, installation certificate and photo evidence for your compliance file.
