🔧 Torn or painted-over seals are among the most frequent fire door findings. A strip that's damaged can't do its job when the heat arrives.
👻 Decorations are fine on the wall beside a door. Keep them off the leaf, the seals and the closer arm, and replace any seal that's been pulled.

👻 A fire door wedged open for the Halloween party is still a wedged fire door. If it can't close, it can't hold smoke back.

Fire door marked "replace"? Look at where the fault is.
Closer, hinges, seals, gaps: repair like for like.
Core, warped leaf, no test evidence: replace.

🧱 A fire wall that stops at the ceiling tile looks complete from the corridor. Lift one tile this week and see whether it runs up to the slab. 🕸️

🎃 Oil running down the side of a door closer is easy to spot:
1. Oil on the body or the floor
2. An arm hanging loose
3. A door stopping short of the latch

🎃 The office Halloween party was set up on Thursday afternoon.
By Friday morning the fire door to the stairwell had paper bats taped across the glass, a ghost sheet on the handle and a chair holding it open.
📋 If a door has to stay open for an event, a hold-open device that releases when the alarm sounds is how it's done properly.
A chair or a wedge never is.
🤝 We put right fire doors across whole estates and leave a record against each one.
Happy Halloween. 🎃

🧱 A pipe through a fire wall, the seal gone and cobwebs across the gap.
Every pipe needs a seal tested for it.

🚪 A new fire door that creaks on its hinges is already telling you something.
Hinges, closer or a frame out of square. Easier to fix before the installer leaves.

🕸️ Signs nobody's looked at a fire door lately:
1. Cobwebs across the closer arm
2. Oil weeping from the closer body
3. A paint line over the intumescent strip

🚪 An FD30 door should hold fire back for 30 minutes.
Painted-over seals, wide gaps, drifting closers and wedged doors put that at risk.
Remedials fix them, with a record for every door.
✅ Find it. Fix it. Prove it.

🛒 Trolley knocks on the bottom of a fire door look cosmetic.
Light ones get made good. Deep ones into the core mean a new leaf.

✂️ Pushing one new cable through a fire batt leaves a hole the batt can't close on its own.

🧱 Sealed penetrations above a ceiling get drilled through again every time a new trade needs a route.
Fire stopping is signed off once. The wall it sits in keeps getting worked on for years.
🔧 How we'd keep on top of it:
1. Ask every contractor how they'll reseal before they start
2. Lift a tile or two before signing their job off
3. Re-survey on a cycle, with photos for each location 📋
Had trades through your ceiling voids this year? Worth a look before the next lot goes up there. 🤝
