A fire rated access panel is a specially designed access point built into walls, ceilings, or other structures, which offers access to concealed spaces (where a shut off valve may be concealed for instance) while maintaining enhanced fire resistance. They are particularly important as part of a buildings fire safety strategy as they prevent the spread of fire. A correctly fitted panel will ensure that, if a fire breaks out, the panel will act as a barrier, slowing down the fire’s progression. Fire Rated Access Panels are constructed using materials that can withstand high temperatures for specified periods. These include steel aluminium coupled with either fire-resistant insulation or fireproof gypsum which can typically resist for for between 1 and 4 hours. This gives occupants adequate time to evacuate the building and gives the emergency services a better chance to control the situation. Our team of engineers can supply and install Fire Rated Access Panels to buildings in commercial, industrial and educational settings across England.
We source a wide range of wall mounted, ceiling mounted or custom fire rated access panels, all of which have been rigorously tested to ensure compliance with all current fire safety regulations. Whether you’re looking for someone to install standard fire rated access panels, double door panels for larger openings or bespoke fire rated panels for a unique project, our experienced team can source the best product for your needs and install it to comply with all current building regulations. We can also regularly check and maintain your panels to ensure that any signs of wear and tear to intumescent seals are repaired or replaced to ensure full functionality.
OCD Fire Management Solutions (OCD FM) provides comprehensive AOV maintenance services for commercial and residential properties. Our team of experts will ensure that your AOV system is maintained in compliance with all relevant fire safety regulations.
All clients will receive a comprehensive site survey to assess the property’s Fire Rated Access Panel requirements. We’ll provide a detailed report of our findings and the scope of the work required to install the correct Fire Rated Access Panels for your building.
Our engineers will arrange a suitable time to install your Fire Rated Access Panels ensuring as little disruption to your day to day operation as possible. Every panel will be installed in accordance with current building regulations and using a suitable fire rating.
Our team of experts will ensure that, post installation, the panel is tested to ensure it opens smoothly. We’ll also test the integrity of the sealing and insulation to ensure full fire-rated integrity. Every panel we source has undergone rigorous testing to ensure compliance with all relevant British Standards and current fire safety legislation.
We will provide all relevant documentation, including installation reports, maintenance reports, and certification records.
We will follow all relevant health and safety guidelines and regulations during the installation process. The client must provide safe and unrestricted access to all areas being installed and identify any potential hazards or risks associated with the area being installed.
We will take appropriate measures to minimise any environmental impact of the installation process. The client is responsible for ensuring that any necessary permits or permissions are in place for the installation.
The client must provide any necessary keys or access codes to gain entry to the building or areas affected by the maintenance process.
Our installation work may cause some disruption to your operations, but we always aim to keep these disruptions to a minimum and work with the upmost professionalism. To that end it’s important that clients work with us to cooperate with our engineers and provide any necessary assistance to minimise disruption.
