Getting steel fire doors right in Chesham
Our steel fire doors service covers Chesham and the wider Buckinghamshire area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
In and around Chesham, fire door work covers everything from houses with integral garages to small offices. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Plant rooms, bin stores and warehouses in and around Chesham often call for steel doorsets that can take knocks and damp. We anchor and seal steel frames in Chesham buildings to the manufacturer's instructions and photograph the work before it is covered.
Security and finishes
Steel fire doors can combine fire resistance with security features such as heavier locks and anti-jemmy details, within the evidence. They are usually powder coated in a range of colours, which gives a hard-wearing finish for back-of-house areas.
What you get:
- Factory-prepared hinges and hardware
- Frame anchoring and gap sealing to instructions
- Powder-coated finishes
- Ratings to suit the wall, including 60 minutes
Which fire door rules apply in Chesham?
The rules that apply to fire doors in Chesham are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a Chesham block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.

Common questions
Is Chesham within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Chesham in Buckinghamshire and neighbouring towns such as Amersham. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Chesham 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.
Do steel fire doors need intumescent seals?
Some steel doorsets use intumescent seals and some do not, depending on how they were tested. The certification sets out exactly what is required.
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.
