Service Overview
Premier Inn Jersey St Helier, a well-known hotel chain, recently underwent major refurbishment works. To ensure the safety of their guests and staff, Element, a trusted supplier of fire protection services for Novus/Whitbread, was chosen to perform critical fire safety assessments and installations. The main objective was to identify and eliminate potential fire risks associated with the creation of new entry points for smoke and fire during these renovations.
Element began the project by conducting thorough Fire Compartmentation Surveys, and meticulously inspecting the premises to identify any vulnerabilities in the fire containment systems. With their expertise and certified team, Element executed precise Fire Stopping Installations to effectively seal all potential entry points, ensuring enhanced fire resistance and protection throughout the building. This meant that all potential entry points for smoke and fire were effectively sealed, making the building safer and more secure.
In addition, Element carried out essential Fire Door Remedial works to ensure compliance with regulations and guarantee the ability of fire doors to safeguard the occupants within the premises. By addressing fire door maintenance and ensuring their proper functionality, Element significantly improved the overall fire safety measures at Premier Inn.
Throughout the project, Element placed a high priority on the safety of the occupants and the property, demonstrating a proactive and professional approach. Their comprehensive fire protection services, coupled with their adherence to industry standards, left Premier Inn well-prepared to handle any potential fire incidents, instilling confidence in the safety of their guests and staff.
