Grasshoppers
New fire doors, compartmentation repairs and a full new fire alarm system, putting right the issues raised by the club's fire risk assessment.
The brief
What we were
asked to solve
Preston Grasshoppers is one of the best known rugby clubs in Lancashire, with a clubhouse that hosts match days, functions and events all year round. A fire risk assessment of the building raised several issues with the fire doors and with the compartmentation that is meant to hold back fire and smoke.
The club needed those findings dealt with properly, by one contractor who could take the list from the assessment and close out every item: the doors, the gaps in the building fabric and a fire alarm that needed replacing.
Take the fire risk assessment and put everything on it right.
Our approach
Doors, walls
and alarm
We fitted all the new fire doors the assessment called for. A fire door only works if it is hung properly, so each one was fitted and adjusted by our own joiners: frame, hinges, seals, closer and gaps all checked before we moved on.
We then dealt with the compartmentation issues, sealing the breaches in walls and ceilings so each part of the building holds back fire and smoke as it was designed to. Finally we installed a full new fire alarm system, so the club now has new fire doors, sound compartments and a new alarm it can rely on.
The result
What we
delivered
All new fire doors supplied and fitted, replacing the doors flagged by the fire risk assessment.
Every door hung, adjusted and checked by our own joiners.
Compartmentation issues put right, with breaches sealed so fire and smoke are held back.
A full new fire alarm system installed and working.
One contractor and one point of contact for the whole list of actions.

After a fire risk assessment
Three things
we put right
Fire doors
Worn, damaged or poorly fitting fire doors are among the most common findings in a fire risk assessment. We supply and fit new ones and make sure they close and seal as they should.
Compartmentation
Holes and gaps around pipes, cables and ceilings let fire and smoke spread between rooms. We find them and seal them so each compartment does its job.
Fire alarm
An old or faulty alarm cannot be relied on. Where a repair is not enough, we install a full new fire alarm system, as we did here.
