Fire door ironmongery for Stretford buildings
Looking for fire door ironmongery in Stretford? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Stretford and the wider Greater Manchester area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
In and around Stretford, fire door work covers everything from small offices to care homes. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Signage for fire doors in Stretford buildings is fitted as part of the job, not as an afterthought. Missing hinge screws and unsuitable locks are routine findings on fire door inspections everywhere; in Stretford we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence.
Common hardware defects
Inspections regularly find missing hinge screws, mismatched hinges, plastic-bodied latches, unapproved bolts and locks fitted without intumescent protection. We replace them with items covered by the door's evidence and fit the matching pads and linings.
As standard, the work covers:
- Bolts and selectors where specified
- Fire-rated hinges, commonly grade 13
- Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
- Fire door signage
What the rules say for Stretford
England's framework applies in Stretford. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.
For blocks over 11 metres in Stretford, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.

Questions
Is Stretford within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Stretford in Greater Manchester and neighbouring towns such as Old Trafford. There is no charge for the survey.
What happens on a survey in Stretford?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
Do fire doors need signs?
Most fire doors in non-domestic buildings and common parts should carry signage showing whether they are to be kept shut, kept locked or are automatic.
Can I fit a new lock to a fire door?
Only one that is covered by the door's test evidence, fitted with the correct intumescent protection. A larger lock body or new holes can compromise the door.
