This contract seeks to consolidate the fire separation of the Palace by repairing or replacing fire doors and associated hardware, furniture, side screens, over panels and glazed elements.

The remaining 234 doors did not require repairs, however the contractor will be required to survey them as part of this contract so that all fire resisting doors and associated screens, over panels and glazing required to maintain the fire separation strategy of the Palace will be to the specified standard at the completion of the contract. In addition this specification includes conservation works to improve the finish of the doors and associated screens etc. This work includes filling holes & cracks, re-finishing and replacing missing or mismatched hardware and furniture.
