Enhancing fire doors demands specialized expertise, entails a lengthier process, and necessitates higher costs compared to simply installing new fire doors. However, there are situations where this upgrade remains essential. Numerous upgrading solutions exist, and when coupled with the proficiency of a competent installer, they can significantly enhance the fire resistance of doors. It's crucial to recognize that listed buildings hold immense historical value and investing in the requisite knowledge and skills becomes imperative for their preservation.

All fire door technicians undertaking work on site will be BM Trada Q-Mark Fire Door accredited. There is a legal requirement for manufacturers of fire doors to demonstrate the ability of their products to resist the passage and spread of fire. However, if they are not properly installed, their fire resistance capabilities can be seriously compromised. The BM TRADA Q-Mark Fire Door Installation scheme has been designed to provide reassurance to specifiers, contractors and end users that the product they have chosen has been installed correctly and that it should perform as intended. 

​

The Q-Mark Fire Door Installation scheme is based on training an individual who takes responsibility for the training and work carried out by several operatives. The scheme is designed to ensure that fire doorsets are being installed correctly, in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions or appropriate guidelines. 

 

What the scheme aims to achieve:

​

• Raise the on-going standard of installation of fire doors

• Ensure the product’s fire resistance capabilities are maintained

• Ensure the product’s service life is maximized through correct installation

• Provide peace of mind that the Installer is suitably qualified and that their work is continually assessed by an independent body
