Passive fire protection for leisure and hospitality
Hotels, gyms, cinemas and venues combine high footfall with people who do not know the building. Hotels add a sleeping risk: guests rely on bedroom fire doors and protected corridors to give them time to wake and escape. Commercial kitchens, plant rooms and the service routes behind the scenes drive extract ducts, pipework and cables through compartment walls. TECS keeps those doors and seals working so your guests, staff and licence are protected.
We work discreetly in operating buildings. Bedroom door surveys are planned with housekeeping around occupancy, repairs are quiet and quick, and noisy works happen between checkout and check-in or overnight in closed areas. Every door and penetration is logged in OneTrace with photographs, giving you the evidence your fire risk assessor, insurer and licensing officer expect.
What the regulations require
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 makes the hotel operator or venue owner the Responsible Person. Fire doors must be kept in efficient working order, and guest bedroom doors are usually FD30S doorsets with self-closers and smoke seals. Compartmentation between bedrooms, corridors, kitchens and plant rooms must be intact. Fire risk assessments, insurer surveys and licensing inspections all expect to see records of checks and remedial work.
Typical scope in a hotel or venue
Room-by-room surveys of bedroom and corridor fire doors with a pass, fail or advisory for each
Closer, seal, hinge and gap repairs that bring doors back into tolerance in one visit
Replacement FD30S doorsets where doors are warped, undersized or non-certified
Fire stopping of kitchen extract, refrigeration pipework, cable trays and risers
Compartmentation surveys above corridor ceilings and in back-of-house areas
Planned maintenance programmes across hotel groups and multi-site leisure operators
How we work in live venues
Our operatives are DBS checked, wear clean uniform and work to agreed access windows. We coordinate with duty managers and housekeeping, protect finishes and leave rooms ready to let. For gyms and cinemas we work in closed screens or studios and around class timetables so there is no impact on members or customers.
Services hospitality clients use most
Fire door inspections, fire door repairs, fire door installation, fire stopping and planned maintenance.
Frequently asked questions
Do you need rooms taken out of service?
Rarely for surveys and most repairs, which take under an hour per door. Door replacements need the room for a day, and we batch them so the hotel loses as few room nights as possible.
Are hotel bedroom doors required to self-close?
Yes. Bedroom doors onto a protected corridor should be FD30S with a working self-closer and intumescent and smoke seals. A door that does not close fully into its frame is a failed door.
Can you work overnight?
Yes. Noisy or dusty works in public areas, kitchens and corridors are routinely scheduled overnight or in closed periods.
