Our maintenance service is typically introduced following the successful completion and commissioning of a project. This proactive and curated approach helps maximise the lifespan and performance of the installed products, delivering greater long-term value while maintaining the high standard of service our clients expect.
Maintenance requirements are discussed during the survey and estimation stages, with the objective of incorporating all completed installations into an annual maintenance programme where appropriate. This ensures systems continue to operate safely, efficiently, and in compliance with manufacturers' recommendations. Our maintenance programmes complement manufacturers' warranties and the high-quality products we install, providing clients with a clear route for addressing future issues.
Typically, a maintenance contract is established immediately after installing a fire door to ensure legal compliance and address issues proactively. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 places a legal duty on the Responsible Person to ensure that fire safety measures, including fire doors, are maintained in an efficiently. Fire doors form a critical element of a building's compartmentation strategy and should be routinely inspected and maintained in accordance with the building's Fire Risk Assessment (FRA).
LKS recommends that all fire doors installed or maintained by us are included within an annual planned maintenance programme. Annual inspections help identify wear, damage or operational issues before they become compliance concerns, ensuring doors continue to perform as intended in the event of a fire, meeting all legal and insurance standards.
