Abbey Fire Doors was commissioned to resolve a complex compliance issue within the historic Jarrolds building in Norwich. This project required a specialised technical approach to address significant floor level discrepancies that were preventing fire doors from meeting mandatory safety clearances and functional requirements.
Core Services
- Specialised Floor Remediation: To ensure the fire doors met strict compliance standards, we installed a raised floor section finished with high-performance self-levelling latex
- Precision Fire Door Alignment: By addressing the substrate issues, we were able to ensure the door sets operated with the exact tolerances required for fire and smoke protection
- Bespoke Compliance Solution: This technical intervention was designed to satisfy BS 8214 standards while respecting the specific architectural constraints of the building
- Advanced Material Application: We chose to utilise professional-grade self-levelling compounds to create a durable, flush finish that facilitated seamless door operation
The Result
This project highlights our ability to solve unique structural challenges that fall outside of standard repair works. By engineering a custom flooring solution, we restored full fire safety compliance to the Jarrolds building, ensuring the doors function perfectly while maintaining the safety of this iconic Norwich landmark.
