Steel fire doors: our service in Bangor
We provide steel fire doors in Bangor (BT20 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Bangor has a broad mix of buildings, including care homes, industrial estates and low-rise blocks of flats, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Plant rooms, bin stores and warehouses in and around Bangor often call for steel doorsets that can take knocks and damp. We anchor and seal steel frames in Bangor 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Factory-prepared hinges and hardware
- Single and double steel doorsets
- Frame anchoring and gap sealing to instructions
- Ratings to suit the wall, including 60 minutes
Which fire door rules apply in Bangor?
Bangor is in Northern Ireland, where fire doors are covered by the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012 and Technical Booklet E on fire safety. Duties in non-domestic premises come from the Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 and the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010.
The English regulation 10 checking regime does not apply here, so the fire risk assessment sets how often doors in Bangor are checked. We hand over evidence that supports it.

Common questions
Do you work in Bangor?
Yes, we take on steel fire doors in Bangor and the surrounding area, including Newtownards and Carrickfergus. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Bangor 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.
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.
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.
