Where steel fire doors are the better choice
Steel doorsets cope with impact, damp and rough handling better than most timber doors. They are a natural fit for plant and boiler rooms, refuse stores, car park lobbies, workshops and warehouses. Many steel doorsets are available in ratings of 60 minutes and beyond where the test evidence supports it, which suits the higher-rated walls around plant spaces.
What you get:
- Frame anchoring and gap sealing to instructions
- Factory-prepared hinges and hardware
- Single and double steel doorsets
- Ratings to suit the wall, including 60 minutes
Rules and responsibilities in Slough
England's framework applies in Slough. 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 Slough, 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.
Which buildings in Slough need steel fire doors?
From warehouses to bin stores, the requirement for steel fire doors in Slough comes from the fire strategy or risk assessment for the building. We work from that document, or help you interpret your inspection report, before quoting.

Common questions
Is Slough within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Slough in Berkshire and neighbouring towns such as Windsor. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Slough building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
Can steel fire doors be painted?
They are usually supplied powder coated. Repainting on site is possible but must avoid covering seals and labels, and should follow the manufacturer's guidance.
Are steel fire doors better than timber?
Not better, just suited to different places. Steel doors are tougher and resist damp and impact, so they suit plant rooms and industrial areas. Timber doors are more common in residential and office interiors.
