Compliant in the existing stock — even during live operations. An official requirement, a fire protection report or a defects list after an inspection — we handle the entire process: on-site survey, planning, supply, installation and documentation.
Existing-stock protection applies as long as a building continues to be used unchanged and no concrete hazard exists. It lapses on a change of use (e.g. office → care facility), on substantial alterations or when the competent authority identifies a concrete hazard. A periodic fire inspection, a fire protection report or an insurance requirement after a claim can also trigger a retrofit duty. The detailed rules are set out in the state building code — in NRW the BauO NRW. A blanket statement is not possible; we refer to the individual fire protection concept and the authority's position. (Note: We do not provide legal advice — in disputed cases please involve a fire protection expert or the authority.)
Rarely voluntary — usually after one of the following triggers. We know the rules of every authority in North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW).
Periodic walk-through by the fire brigade — usually with a defects list and a deadline.
Expert assessment with concrete retrofit recommendations.
The building authority demands adaptations — often as part of a change of use.
After a claim or at policy renewal the insurer demands evidence.
Office → care facility, apartment → practice — new requirements, old doors are not enough.
Refurbishment or extension — the existing stock is reassessed.
Transparent, scheduled, with a single point of contact. With large defects lists we prioritise by risk.
Phone, form or callback — we respond within 24 hours.
Free of charge, no obligation. Survey of all doors with photo, measurement and assessment.
Product recommendation, material, frame, installation plan — written and traceable.
Certified doors with approval and test certificate — delivered to site on schedule.
By a trained team — wherever possible without operational interruption, with dust protection and partial sections.
Declaration of conformity, approval, installation record — digital, for authorities and insurers.
Multi-occupancy residential — usually T30 or T30-RS required. Frequent in refurbishment projects.
Transition from the stairwell to the basement — usually T30-RS.
Heating, service entry, lifts — separation from rooms with elevated fire load.
Necessary corridors — separation of escape routes.
Separation of use units — on re-letting or change of use.
Often T90 — at initial fit-out or after IT expansion.
In existing buildings somewhat more expensive than in new build — due to adaptations, partial demolition and logistics. With large defects lists the unit price falls through bundling.
