Service

Active Fire

Fieldway was appointed to Onward Homes’ Passive Fire Framework, delivering fire door replacement and maintenance across flats, communal areas, sheltered schemes and tower blocks. Works have included fire door sets, intumescent seals, hinges, closers and penetration sealing.

Fieldway has also maintained Onward’s active fire systems for many years, including fire alarms, emergency lighting, dry risers and AOVs. Dedicated Works Coordinators and a pool of 10 multi-skilled engineers support delivery across three regions, with tailored safeguarding procedures for Extra Care Schemes.

Fieldway delivered regional fire safety, fire door and compliance works across Onward Homes’ North West properties.

At Pendleway and Gower Court, residents using wheelchairs could have been restricted by standard door closers. Fieldway proposed a free-swinging door arm integrated with the fire alarm, maintaining resident accessibility while providing fire protection.

Innovations, Challenges, Solutions

Fire safety solutions needed to accommodate residents with complex accessibility and support requirements.
