EDUCATION / FIRE DOORS & JOINERY
Fire doors for
schools & education.
From busy corridors to school halls. Fire-door surveys, installation and ongoing care, planned with your estates team around the teaching calendar and the way the buildings are used.
FOR SCHOOL LEADERS & ESTATES TEAMS
SCHOOL BUILDINGS / PRACTICAL DOOR WORKS
Practical doors.
Planned around the school.
Teaching spaces, halls and shared circulation areas can have different door use and wear. Identify the location and purpose of each opening so the specification and programme reflect how the building operates.
We review the door schedule, existing building and access constraints before agreeing the work. For school estates teams, a clear brief should include the teaching calendar, areas in use and the site procedures contractors must follow.
01
Fire door surveys
Survey the defined doors using location references that match the school's plans or room schedule. Clear findings help estates teams connect the condition of each door to the work being considered.
02
Fire door installation
Install new or replacement fire door sets to the agreed project specification. Review the frames, hardware, glazing requirements and surrounding joinery alongside the way each part of the building is used.
03
Maintenance & repairs
Assess faults affecting closing, seals and fittings, including wear from frequent use. Repairs or planned maintenance can be discussed against the findings, suitable components and available access periods.
04
Fire risk assessments
Review the wider premises through an agreed fire risk assessment scope. Door-related actions should be considered alongside the building's use and existing safety arrangements, with residential accommodation identified separately where relevant.
05
Carpentry & joinery
The school brief can include door linings, architraves, skirting and other refurbishment joinery. Explain which existing finishes should remain and which areas need making good, so installation and finishing can be coordinated with other planned work.
FROM OUR PORTFOLIO / WICKHAM PRIMARY SCHOOL
School hall doors.
Carefully finished.
Wickham Primary School: fire-door installations in the hall and adjoining areas, bringing the door assembly, ironmongery and surrounding joinery together.
COMPLETED PROJECT / WICKHAM PRIMARY SCHOOL
Wickham Primary School.
Attention to the finish.
At Wickham Primary School, our project included fire-door installations in the hall and adjoining areas. The existing portfolio records attention to fitting, ironmongery and the surrounding joinery within the school interior.
The project is a useful reference for an education brief that brings the door assembly and finishing work together. For your premises, the opening schedule, site procedures and access windows would be reviewed and agreed specifically for that building.
A PRACTICAL PLAN / FROM BRIEF TO HANDOVER
Work around
the teaching calendar.
Send the door schedule, existing survey or assessment and the proposed work areas. Tell us which dates are school holidays, which spaces remain occupied and whether the premises host clubs or other activities outside normal teaching hours.
Include contractor induction, safeguarding and supervision requirements, delivery routes and permitted working hours in the enquiry. We will review these alongside the work before confirming availability and the proposed programme. Holiday work should be agreed against actual dates and capacity rather than assumed.
01
Review the schedule
Send the door locations, existing reports and required specification. Identify the teaching spaces and shared areas included in the brief.
02
Agree the window
Discuss term dates, areas in use and contractor procedures. The programme is agreed against the scope and available access.
03
Deliver & hand over
We complete the agreed work and record the outcome for the school team, including any outstanding concerns or recommendations.

A clear brief.
The right next step.
Send your school or education site address, reports and door schedule. Include preferred dates, term-time restrictions and contractor access requirements so the proposed work can be reviewed with your estates team.
