Hi can anyone tell me if the fire doors in a school built in 1985 require smoke seals or are the ok without as long as you justify in the fire risk assessment?

Your RA and the day to day systems thereafter need to be rock solid

Hi Paul I must admit to wondering if a fire door (which was presumably put in for a purpose) is fit for that purpose without the smoke seals/strips? I would be dubious about leaving them without and as it was built in 1985 I am assuming that we're not talking heavy hardwood doors either, which would at least resist heat far more effectively than most others. Do you have a friendly fire safety officer that you can ring for a chat? Ours is helpful and we have a good relationship based upon trust and good sense!
