University of Leicester

Over the past 3+ years, AJM has built a strong working partnership with the University of Leicester, delivering major fire door remediation and replacement programmes across its estate.


During the last 12 months alone, our teams have completed works to 800+ fire doors, including:

• Percy Gee Building – 300+ doors
• John Foster Pavilions – 250+ doors
• Brookfield School of Business – 150+ doors
• Salisbury Road & Regent Road – 100+ doors


Delivering works of this scale across live teaching, research and accommodation environments requires more than technical capability. It requires careful planning, flexibility, communication and a team that understands how to work around building users while maintaining programme, quality and compliance.



As a BM TRADA third-party certified contractor for Fire Door Installation & Maintenance and Fire Stopping, supported by ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001, quality and traceability are central to how we deliver our passive fire programmes.

We’re particularly proud of the feedback received from the University:


“AJM has been our preferred fire contractor for many years, and it is always a pleasure working with their team on site. Some of our buildings can be challenging to navigate due to their use for teaching, research, and collaborative activities. However, the AJM team consistently demonstrates flexibility and accommodates individual feedback and requests.
Communication between the on-site team, the administration team, and our staff is excellent, issues are promptly highlighted and discussed, ensuring smooth coordination. Overall, AJM provides an efficient and professional service that makes working with them a great experience.”

— Monik Kaese, Project Manager – Project Delivery Team, University of Leicester

And the partnership continues.

And the partnership continues.


During this financial year, AJM is preparing to deliver a further programme comprising 150+ doors across accommodation blocks, followed by a major programme of 300+ doors within the Maurice Shock Medical Learning and Development Building.

For universities, healthcare providers, housing organisations, facilities managers and other organisations responsible for complex occupied estates, AJM has the experience and nationwide delivery capability to support:
