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.

The contractor will limited to the number of doors that can be removed from the Palace at any one time; the project team has recommended this should not exceed approximately 20 number.
