A Commitment to Fire Safety
Neil Ashdown, FDC’s founder and MD, expressed his satisfaction with the results: “We’re thrilled to be recognized with ‘Excellent’ ratings in every inspection category. This is a strong validation of our mission to enhance fire door safety throughout the UK. We offer property owners and businesses a comprehensive range of services, including training, inspections, surveys, and consultancy on proper fire door identification, specification, installation, inspection, and maintenance.”
Importance of Regular Inspections
FDC emphasizes the importance of regular fire door inspections to promptly identify and address any non-compliant doors including wear and tear or damage. Regular checks ensure proper functioning of fire door hardware like self-closing devices and intumescent strips. They also verify proper door alignment and closure to effectively resist and restrict fire and smoke spread.
