BM TRADA FIRE DOOR MAINTENANCE LONDON

Our planned maintenance service covers scheduled fire door inspections (quarterly, bi-annual, or annual), minor adjustments and servicing during each visit, and a full compliance report. On site we carry out tasks like adjusting door closers, lubricating locks, checking and adjusting hinges, replacing fire and smoke seals where needed, and confirming the correct signage is in place. After each visit you receive an evidence-based report with photographic proof of any defects or non-conformities, plus prioritised recommendations to help you plan remedial works and stay audit-ready. For sites with 20+ doors, BM TRADA certification can be added as an option, and emergency repair cover is available.

Planned Preventative Maintenance for fire doors is a scheduled programme of inspections, servicing, minor adjustments and reporting designed to keep fire doors operational, compliant and properly documented over time. It helps identify issues such as worn closers, damaged seals, excessive gaps, loose hinges and missing signage before they become larger compliance defects.

The frequency of PPM depends on building type, occupancy levels, historic performance, and regulatory guidance. In practice, many facilities managers adopt a quarterly or bi-annual fire door and compartmentation PPM cycle in higher-risk settings, while annual PPM may be suitable for lower-risk environments. PPM schedules should align with fire risk assessment recommendations, manufacturer guidance, and insurer expectations. Keepshut London supports clients with tailored PPM programmes designed to meet these requirements and reduce unexpected failures.

Effective PPM helps prevent a range of common yet serious fire safety issues such as: overheard or worn door closers, improper fire stopping at service penetrations, degraded intumescent seals, hardware malfunctions, and gradual compartmentation breaches. Left unchecked, these can lead to fire door failures, compartment integrity loss, failed audits, enforcement action, or increased insurance risk. PPM catches defects early and ensures works are scheduled before critical failure occurs.

Yes. A well-documented PPM regime provides auditable evidence that fire safety systems are being maintained responsibly. Regulators, insurers, and fire risk assessors increasingly expect documented PPM records during compliance reviews, audits, or claims processes. Keepshut London provides structured PPM reports with photographic evidence, defect histories, and clear follow-up recommendations, helping you demonstrate proactive fire safety management and protect your compliance position.

Reactive fire safety repairs occur after a defect has been identified through failure or incident, whereas PPM is a scheduled, preventative approach designed to find and fix issues before they become failures. PPM reduces unplanned downtime, improves occupant safety, supports lifecycle planning, and often results in lower overall maintenance costs. Keepshut London’s PPM programmes are planned with your building profile, usage patterns, and FRA actions in mind to deliver the best balance of compliance, reliability, and budget control.
