We are delighted to share that following extensive training, assessment and auditing, we have achieved certification under the BM Trada Q Mark scheme for the installation and maintenance of fire doors. 

Fire doors are an essential life safety device designed to hold back smoke and flames for a set period, usually 30 minutes. 

To retain the integrity of a door installation, maintenance must be carried out by competent persons, and we are delighted to be able to demonstrate this through the Q Mark Scheme. 

Every fire door is assessed against a comprehensive checklist where we will look at the integrity of the door, the hinges, door closers and any glazing. 

If a door requires a repair or a replacement, then our skilled and trained staff can replace this to the highest standards and certify each door as fully compliant. 

Sue Newton, Head of Health and Safety at Halton Housing said: “The safety of our customers is our number one priority. Having our in-house teams accredited demonstrates our skills and expertise in this area, and will provide our customers with all the assurances they need".
