About this project

Bilton Grange Primary School was awarded a fire safety CIF grant that allowed them to upgrade their fire doors and screens throughout the school.

They chose RWB Fire Door Solutions as the main contractor for the project.

The school building was partial set in a period property that had a lot of character and history. RWB had to be very careful and respectful when removing the old doors and screens, making sure they did not damage the original features and materials. They also had to deal with the plaster work around the door frames, which was in poor condition and needed to be repaired before installing the new doors.

The project was carried out during the school term, which meant that RWB had to work around the school schedule and activities. They decided to work in the evenings, after the school hours, to minimise the disruption and inconvenience for the staff and students. They also ensured that the doors were safe and functional at the end of each night shift, and that the school was clean and tidy for the next day.

The project faced an additional challenge when the school informed RWB that OFSTED were going to inspect the school during the project. This put some pressure on both the school and RWB to present the school in the best possible light, in the midst of a fire safety project. RWB managed to overcome this challenge and completed the project on time and within budget, to the satisfaction of the school. 



The fire doors installed were an Oak Veneered door, carrying the BM Trada Gold and Silver plugs, representing the hallmark of a BM Trada sourced manufacturer and BM Trada approved installer.
