🚪 Another Fire Door Installation Complete! 🔥

We’re proud to share our latest project for one of our local County Council clients! 👏

Working within an 18th-century building brought some unique challenges, with uneven levels and angled openings requiring extra care and precision.

Following planning consent, our client opted for oak-veneered fire door sets, creating a high-quality finish that complements the character of this historic building. 🪵✨

We’re delighted with the results, and so is our client! The finishing decorating touches are now underway. ✅

Fire Stopping Project Update✅🔥⛔️

We’ve recently completed an 8 week fire stopping project at a residential development in Romford, forming part of the client’s ongoing fire safety improvement plan.

Following a full compartmentation survey previously carried out by our team, 505 fire stopping locations were identified for attention. These included areas where existing fire stopping systems had deteriorated, as well as locations where new or existing services penetrations or voids required appropriate fire stopping.

The works were carefully co-ordinated around residents and the continued use of communal areas, with our trained fire stopping operatives completing the works and maintaining photographic and digital records throughout.

We’ve been keeping a big secret… and we’re extremely excited to finally share it! 🎉

Last Friday, we officially received the keys to our new office and warehouse facility, just a short trip to the other side of Bury St Edmunds.

At the moment, it’s a complete shell, but over the coming months it will be transformed into our brand-new HQ.

The new facility will give us:

🏢 An office space around 4 times the size of our current premises
📦 A warehouse around 5 times the size of our existing storage facility
🤝 A much more connected and collaborative working environment
📋 Improved stock control and management
🔥 Dedicated, organised storage for our fire doors and fire stopping products

We’ve been in our current office for the past four years, alongside a small stock storage yard located a short drive away. As LAC Services has continued to grow, we’ve reached the point where we’re ready for the next big step.

Bringing our office and warehouse together under one roof will not only give us the space to continue growing, but will also allow us to improve the way we manage stock, materials and quality control across the business.

There’s a lot of work ahead, but we’re incredibly excited to see this space develop into something that reflects where LAC Services is today — and where we’re heading next.

We can’t wait to take you along for the journey and keep you updated on the progress! 🚀

Watch this space…

Another selection of fire door sets replaced last week across our managed portfolio of North London schools, as part of the ongoing Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) programme.

The latest works included a combination of veneered and laminated door sets, all factory-hung, certified and supplied with Q-Mark / BM TRADA manufacturing and installation records.

The installations comprised both FD30S and FD60S fire door sets, with a combination of single-action and dual-action configurations, tailored to maintain the same function as the existing door set.

We continue to place a strong emphasis on quality, compliance and traceability, with QR codes linked to the relevant ongoing records for each installation, providing our clients with easy access to the information they need.

Our decoration team have also attended site to complete the architraves and finishing works, ensuring each installation is handed over complete, professionally finished and ready for use.

It is important to us that every aspect of the process is managed and delivered to the same high standard, from the initial specification and manufacture through to installation, finishing and ongoing record keeping

A few photos from last week’s works below. Take a look!

Year 3 Fire Door Replacement & Maintenance Project Update – West Suffolk College

We are pleased to have completed our third year working alongside our fantastic client at West Suffolk College, as part of a wider programme supporting their estate.

Following our initial inspections almost four years ago, a clear plan was developed to upgrade a number of fire doors throughout the college complex. We have now completed the final replacement door sets within the original programme, bringing the total number of door sets replaced since 2023 to an impressive 288.

This summer marked the final phase of the initial replacement programme, with a further 92 door sets replaced.

All replacement door sets were supplied by Youngs Doors, with each set factory-hung, factory-painted and Q-Mark certified, providing full certification and traceability throughout. We have also had the pleasure of replacing 3 steel final exit door sets supplied by Strongdor.

We have also welcomed supporting site audits from both of our accreditation bodies, BM TRADA and Bluesky, receiving clean audits and fantastic feedback from both.

Our trusted spraying partner, Kraft Coatings, is now working evenings to complete the final decorations and making good to architraves, ensuring each building is finished in line with its existing colour scheme.

Whilst the replacement programme may now be complete, our work with West Suffolk College continues. We will be supporting the client with an ongoing maintenance programme covering both the new and existing maintained door sets. Through our cloud-based asset management system, incorporating QR-tagged assets, the client has access to a complete audit trail and maintenance history whenever required.

With the college being so close to our offices and several members of our team having attended the college themselves, this project has always felt particularly close to home. It has been, and continues to be, a pleasure working with West Suffolk College and supporting the ongoing safety and maintenance of their estate.

Here's to the next phase of the partnership!

🏛️ Project Complete | Westminster Cathedral Crypt Wall Upgrade 🏛️

Last week, the LAC Services team successfully completed a specialist project at the iconic Westminster Cathedral, demonstrating the strength of our multi-trade offering and collaborative approach.

Our client required the removal of an existing services room wall within the cathedral crypt, which was to be replaced in accordance with the project drawings. The new installation comprised a 60-minute fire-rated partition wall, complete with a FD60s-certified door set, helping to improve both fire safety and compartmentation within the space.

🔨 Scope of Works:

🪚 Carpentry
• Construction of the new stud partition wall
• Installation of plasterboard
• Fitting of the FD60s-certified doorset

🎨 Plastering & Decorating
• Skimming of the newly installed wall
• Full decoration and finishing works, transforming the appearance of the area

🔥 Fire Stopping
• Sealing all penetrations, voids and openings
• Ensuring effective compartmentation and compliance with fire safety requirements

Working within such a prestigious and historic building was a privilege for our team. The positive feedback received from the client is a reflection of the professionalism, workmanship and dedication shown by everyone involved.

👏 A huge thank you and well done to all teams who contributed to the successful delivery of this project
