Regular fire door inspections are a vital part of your fire safety strategy, helping you identify risks, proactively fix issues, and stay compliant with all relevant fire safety regulations.

But what actually happens during a fire door inspection? In this post, we break down some of the most common questions we hear.

What does a fire door inspection cover?

A fire door inspection usually involves an expert taking a close look at the fire doors being used throughout your property. Their aim is to ensure your fire doors and their components are compliant and fit for purpose, and will see them assessing the door’s leaf, frame and fittings to check that nothing is damaged or compromised.

Your fire door inspector will also make sure your door certification is valid and up-to-date, and that each door has been manufactured to the correct standards and installed properly in the first place.

Why do fire door inspections matter?

Fire doors are often the first line of defence against the spread of fire, smoke and hazardous gases, giving emergency teams precious time to respond and save lives.

However, a fire door can only do its job if it’s working properly. The Fire Door Inspection Scheme (FDIS) recently reported that, of 100,000 inspections carried out, an alarming 75% of fire doors were non-compliant. Common issues included poor manufacturing, incorrect installation, damage, and improper use (e.g., doors left propped open), leading to serious concerns. With regular inspections, however, it’s possible to find and resolve these problems before they become serious hazards.

How often should fire doors be inspected?

In line with the latest fire safety regulations, your building’s fire doors should be inspected at least once every six months. But in a busier property, where a higher level of wear and tear is expected, inspections should be done even more frequently.

What fire door components are inspected?

Your inspector will look carefully at every door’s key components to give you peace of mind that everything meets the required safety standards. Inspections cover:

Door leaf’s, which are checked for damage, warping or wear
Door frames, which should be undamaged and correctly fitted
Intumescent seals, which are checked for cracking
Hardware, including hinges, handles, and locks
Glazing, which should be intact and compliant
Signage, which should be easily visible and compliant

What happens after a fire door inspection?

After an inspection, remedial work or maintenance might be recommended or need to be carried out within an agreed timeframe. This could mean replacing seals, repairing a frame, or putting any installation issues right. As with your inspections, this maintenance is best handled by professional fire safety experts to keep your fire doors safe and compliant.

From better heating performance to improved energy efficiency and lower running costs, investing in a new commercial boiler is likely to make a noticeable difference from the day it’s installed.

But while the process might seem complex, it doesn’t have to be stressful.

If you’re thinking about replacing an old or increasingly faulty commercial boiler, here are the answers to some of the most common questions you’re likely to have.

Is it time-consuming to replace a commercial boiler?

While there might be complexities, the process shouldn’t take too long. The best way to approach any commercial boiler upgrade is to work with a professional supplier like JLA, which offers decades of experience in heating system design, and a large range of boilers and alternative heating solutions to help you choose the right product for your needs.

By working with a reputable specialist, you’ll be covered from initial specification right through to installation, and can plan all your scheduled servicing, maintenance and compliance support beyond. Just make sure the supplier you choose uses Gas Safe-registered engineers.

How expensive is it to replace a commercial boiler?

As with any similar upgrade project, boiler installation costs will vary depending on factors including the size of the property, the number of boilers involved, how intensely they’re used from day to day, and any special requirements.

That said, it’s always worth noting the operating cost savings you’re likely to enjoy over the new system’s lifespan. That’s because the newer generation of boilers deliver noticeable energy savings versus older designs, with many models also future-proofed and ready to use hydrogen.

There’s also the option to take advantage of rental through solutions like JLA’s all-inclusive Total Care package, where your new boiler is installed for free and looked after by our network of engineers, with no hidden surprises, for a simple monthly payment.

What are some other benefits of replacing a commercial boilers?

The biggest draw of a new boiler is likely be the improved reliability of your whole commercial heating system. If your current boiler is reaching the end of its service life, you’re probably spending time and money sorting out more regular faults, navigating downtime, or spending on spare parts that might be getting harder to source. Equally, you might be in a situation where going without heating or hot water is simply not an option, and where fitting a new boiler will remove a lot of hassle.

Alongside this peace of mind, a new boiler can also help you meet your ESG requirements by reducing your energy consumption and helping to shrink your carbon footprint.

Add all this to the faster and more effective heating of your building, and you could even be looking at an increase in your property’s value.

What are my boiler replacement options?

JLA’s range of modern hydrogen-ready gas boilers are significantly more efficient than the previous generation of gas boilers, and can be mounted on walls or floors for added convenience.

If you’re looking to further minimise your environmental impact, however, we also offer a range of advanced hybrid heating systems, which combine the effectiveness of gas boilers with the eco-friendly nature of heat pumps to bring you the best of both worlds.

Commercial tumble dryers aren’t made equal. There are several models to choose from, each utilising different heating elements and technologies to dry garments to a high standard in as little time as possible.

Two of the most common types of dryers include vented dryers and condenser dryers. So, what makes these appliances different? And how do they compare in terms of features, benefits and functionality?

In an attempt to settle the vented vs condenser dryer debate once and for all, we’re taking a look at each of these tumble dryers to explain what they are, how they work and the pros and cons they provide.

What are vented tumble dryers?

Vented tumble dryers are among the most common types of dryers you’re likely to encounter. They work by expelling the hot air generated inside the drum along a pipe, where it can be “vented” safely along a series of ducts into a non-enclosed space.

What are the pros and cons of vented tumble dryers?

Pros

Efficiency: Since vented dryers don’t need to convert air into water (as with condenser models), they require much less energy to run, making them more efficient.
Lower initial purchase cost: Vented dryers are among the cheapest tumble dryers available, which may appeal to some buyers.
Moderate drying speeds: Vented dryers offer reasonable drying times depending on the load size in question.

Cons

Location requirement: Since vented tumble dryers expel damp, warm air, they need to be positioned near an external wall where a vent or duct can be fitted to allow the air to escape. If your laundry doesn’t meet these requirements, you may need to consider another type of dryer.

What are condenser tumble dryers?

As the name suggests, condenser tumble dryers work by converting hot air generated inside the drying drum into water through condensation. That means, unlike vented dryers, these appliances don’t require an external vented hose to direct the hot air away from your laundry and into the open air.

What are the pros and cons of condenser tumble dryers?

Pros

No need for an external vent: With no need for external venting, condenser-style dryers can be placed anywhere – perfect for laundries with limited space or access to an external wall.
High-temperature drying: Condenser dryers heat to around 75°C, meaning rapid drying times compared to vented models.

Cons

High energy consumption: Since condenser dryers reach higher temperatures and rely on condensation to remove hot air from the system, they are much more energy-intensive than other dryers out there.
Still require a constant supply of cool air: Don’t think that you can squeeze a condenser tumble dryer into a tiny space, as these appliances do require a constant stream of cool air to operate efficiently.
Condensation tank needs to be emptied: All that condensed water needs to go somewhere, so you might find yourself emptying your dryer’s water tank quite often during regular use.

Heat pump dryers: The real winner of the best tumble dryer debate?

If you’re no closer to deciding if a vented or condenser-style tumble dryer is right for you, allow us to throw a third option into the mix: heat pump dryers.

Heat pump tumble dryers are becoming a popular solution, particularly for laundry managers looking to balance speed and drying time with outright energy efficiency. Heat pump dryers use a closed-loop cycle to recirculate hot air, making them considerably less energy-intensive than their vented and condensing counterparts.

What are the pros and cons of heat pump dryers?

Pros

More energy efficient than other dryers
Doesn’t require external venting
Lower temperatures may be gentler for some garment and fabric types

Cons

Slower drying times than vented and condenser dryers
More expensive to buy outright
Water tank requires emptying regularly

Lucy Cripwell
Detergents expert

Selecting the appropriate commercial laundry detergents should never be left to guesswork. The cleaning solutions you use in your on-site laundry room have a significant impact on wash cycles, so using quality detergents designed for professional use is essential in getting the best results from your commercial washing machine.

All laundry detergents are formulated differently, so you can improve the performance, efficiency and results of your regular wash cycles by choosing a quality, commercial-grade solution like JLA Ultra Detergents.

Learn more about the cleaning power of these lab-tested laundry cleaners in our essential guide.

Why JLA Ultra detergents are perfect for low-temperature laundry

While energy prices remain stubbornly high and you’re eager to maintain your ESG-related targets, making the switch to a quality commercial detergent like JLA Ultra is a smart move. Industry tests show that our detergents work better at low wash temperatures of 40°C than competitor products, so you can afford to turn down your machine’s thermostat without compromising cleaning performance and consistent results.

Better still, the JLA Ultra laundry detergent range features products for almost any commercial application. So, whatever your industry, you will find the right combination of cleaners to suit your requirements.

Why high-performance commercial laundry detergents are important

Businesses expect consistent and reliable results from their commercial laundry equipment, so this is what products like JLA Ultra detergent help to deliver. Heavy soiling, stubborn stains, and harmful bacteria often found in care home settings are no match for professional detergents, so you can rest assured that your laundry is clean, fresh and hygienic cycle after cycle.

Of course, quality results and cleaning performance aren’t the only benefits of switching to a top-rated industrial laundry detergent. These products can also help to reduce the need to re-wash items, ultimately helping your business and its staff save time and money.

If you need help selecting the right laundry detergents for your business, our dedicated commercial laundry specialists are here to help.

What is commercial rinse aid and how does it work?

3rd Apr 2025

Commercial-grade rinse aid is a hard-working ally in the fight against stubborn stains, streaking and water marks. But how does it work?

Opened in 1596 by Countess of Sussex Lady Frances Sidney, Sidney Sussex is one of Cambridge University’s smaller colleges, and today has a student community of just 355 undergraduates, 275 post-graduates, and 80 fellows.

Circuit has served this friendly community since 2014, operating washing machines and dryers at the campus’s Blundell laundry site. In recent years, however, these older machines nearing the end of their life cycle, resulting in a drop in student satisfaction, and an increasing number of engineer call-outs.

To improve the situation, the Sidney Sussex estates team worked closely with Circuit to plan and manage a full upgrade for the site and its equipment. This started with Circuit’s Décor team completing a full renovation of the laundry facilities, creating a fresher, cleaner environment, and was followed by the installation of seven new innovative washers and dryers, including five washer-dryer stacks designed to save space all with easy-to-use fascias.

Along with making the laundry room more welcoming, Blundell was also one of the first to be fitted with Circuit Go, an all-new and much simpler instant payment system with an app that lets students check availability in advance, book a machine and start a cycle, or simply pay as they go by tapping contactlessly. What’s more all the machines are connected so any faults are automatically detected and actioned without relying on the customer to report. The response from students and staff so far has been excellent..

"Since the beginning of the term, feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. Our students are finding the new machines much more efficient than the previous models, and many have commented that their clothes are noticeably cleaner, too! Additionally, students and housekeeping staff have mentioned how much they appreciate the new Circuit Go app, which is much more user-friendly and offers a wider variety of payment options. The expanded number of cycles also provides more choice, which I believe enhances the laundry experience. And since the new machines began operating, not a single fault has been reported."

Evi Horvath-Nyari, Head of Housekeeping, Sidney Sussex College.

A commercial water boiler – often known as an instant hot water dispenser – is a time-saving alternative to traditional kettle. Ideal for both staffed and self-service use in office kitchens, common areas, event rooms, reception areas or canteens, plumbed-in hot water dispensers are well worth considering if you’re looking to cut costs and boost productivity.

While similar in terms of like-for-like energy consumption, what works out as more efficient for your organisation will depend on your usage. It’s true that a boiler will become cheaper and cheaper to run the more you use it, but there are other key differences to consider in the water boiler vs kettle comparison, such as the reduction in time spent waiting for water to boil throughout the day (or night shift) if you have a mains-plumbed countertop water boiler.

*This is an illustration only. The energy efficiency of a hot water boiler vs a kettle is entirely dependent on how much a unit of electricity costs your business. Check with your provider to understand how much you are charged per unit of electricity.

Water boiler vs electric kettle

Switching from a kettle to a hot water boiler will cut the waiting time for hot water, and if you’re a big tea drinking organisation like us, your energy usage will drop too. While the energy usage to heat the same volume of water is the same, the main difference is that an electric kettle uses a large amount of electricity for a short amount of time and a hot water dispenser uses a small amount of electricity for a large amount of time.

Are water boilers more efficient than kettles?

The question of whether you should have a water boiler or a kettle is entirely dependent on your usage. It costs less to keep a water boiler hot than it does to constantly refill and boil a kettle. This is because your kettle uses a large amount of energy for a short amount of time, whereas a hot water boiler uses a smaller amount of electricity for a larger amount of time.

Ultimately, the more water you boil throughout the day, the more likely it is you’ll benefit from a water boiler.

By our calculations, if you’re paying 52p per kwh for your electricity and you’re drinking over 110 cups of tea or coffee a day, a water boiler will be more cost effective. (You can see our calculations below.)

How much does a kettle cost to boil?

If we look at the numbers in more detail, an average kettle (3kW) takes 4 minutes to boil at each visit. A unit of electricity costs around 52p*.

*Depending on individual tariff/rate

3kW x 0.07h = 0.21 kWh, 0.21 x 52p = 11p to boil a full kettle each time which means…

Staff	Mugs	Boils		Cost per day
20	80	16	16×11p	£1.66
30	120	24	24×11p	£2.50
40	160	32	32×11p	£3.33

How much does it cost to run a water boiler?

A 3kW boiler on standby will use 0.07kW/h, that’s one unit of electricity (52p) in 14 hours (3.71p per hour), or 89.14p per day. In-use, a water boiler automatically refills and only boils the water used at each serving. It ‘heats’ for 30 seconds per mug of water drawn-off (1 minute for 2 mugs, 2 minutes for 4 mugs and so on). For 20 people drinking 80 mugs, the dispenser will be on for 40 minutes (0.66 hours) throughout the day (3kW x 0.66h = 1.98kWh 1.98 x 52p = 102.96p).

Add this to the standby cost of 89.14p per day and we get…

Staff	Mugs	Cost per day
20	80	£1.92
30	120	£2.43
40	160	£2.95

Water boilers are built for commercial use, so they’ll last longer too. The heating element in a household kettle often found in the office kitchen, simply aren’t up to the task. So in addition to the running costs outlined above, you can expect to replace them regularly if you stick with them.

Aside from energy efficiency and considerations in relation to finances, there are also further benefits water boilers can provide. For example, a positive impact on a building’s BREEAM rating (certification system which helps businesses to improve their environmental impact). For workplaces looking to operate more sustainably and keep energy costs low, they’re a great investment.

Another key consideration is hard water. If you’re based in a hard water location, limescale build up is more of a concern for you. Not only does this impact the taste of drinks, but over time, it can also damage the longevity and efficiency of a kettle. A water boiler, however, can be filtered and serviced to avoid these issues.

In conclusion, repeatedly boiling a kettle is both time and energy inefficient. Kettle’s waste energy when overused as they lose heat throughout the boiling process. Instant hot water dispensers are much more energy efficient, with as little as possible wasted.

That said, if you are only having two cups of tea per day per premises, then stick to your kettle!

Ideal for staffrooms, office kitchens, canteens, waiting rooms and event spaces, our JLA compact water boiler features:

Automatic refilling – plumbed into your mains
Simple tap pouring

Circuit, the UK’s largest and longest-established managed laundry specialist, has launched a new cutting-edge platform to revolutionise the laundry experience for students.

The Circuit Go payment platform gives users two independent ways to pay for their laundry; by topping up their app account, or with a contactless tap on new wall terminals. Via the app, students can check machine availability in real-time, and book a machine for use at a specific time.

Working in partnership with AirWallet, Europe’s fastest growing payment provider for laundries, the app and terminal are compatible with both Apple Pay and Google Pay.

New technology also makes it easier for Circuit to maintain the quality of its machines and reduce operational downtime, as it automatically detects faults which can be diagnosed remotely. This provides engineers with a greater understanding of technical issues, increasing first-time fix rates. When a fault occurs, the nearest of Circuit’s 400 engineers to site can be deployed to attend, cutting down on customer wait times and reducing travel time, and carbon footprint.

Established almost 30 years ago, Circuit is the largest provider of student laundry rooms in the UK & Ireland.

David Wheatcroft, Managing Director at Circuit, said: “Our priority as a business is to continually invest in efficiency, reliability and innovation to create a service that lets students focus on what really matters to them, while we handle the rest. We recently asked our users for feedback on what works well from Circuit, and found students wanted a simpler way to pay, hassle-free washing and drying, and a smoother experience overall.

“Circuit Go is the answer to all of that. It is a simple, reliable and quicker way to pay for laundry, and will make using our laundrettes more convenient than ever, setting new standards in the market. In line with the launch of Circuit Go, we’ve also upgraded our launderettes, improving washing instructions and machine controls to make laundry days a breeze.

“Now we have a unified platform that works across all of our sites, offering a seamless solution to ensure users always have a positive experience with our machines.”

Nicolai Isaksen, co-founder of AirWallet, said: “’Airwallet is happy and proud to be Circuit’s preferred payment system supplier. Our customised private label solution, Circuit GO, ensures uniform branding in the laundry rooms, enhancing the user experience for all end users, while our payment technology seamlessly integrates with Circuit’s existing setup. I am confident that through our collaboration, we will continue to enhance the laundry experience for students for many years to come.”
