Steel fire doors in Chester

Steel fire doors for Chester buildings

Looking for steel fire doors in Chester? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Chester and the wider Cheshire area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.

Chester has a broad mix of buildings, including high-street shops, industrial estates and schools, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.

Plant rooms, bin stores and warehouses in and around Chester often call for steel doorsets that can take knocks and damp. We anchor and seal steel frames in Chester 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.

Each installation includes:

• Single and double steel doorsets
• Factory-prepared hinges and hardware
• Locks, closers and panic hardware as specified
• Powder-coated finishes

Rules and responsibilities in Chester

England's framework applies in Chester. 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 Chester, 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.
