Steel fire doors: our service in Workington
Our steel fire doors service in Workington is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Workington has a broad mix of buildings, including light industrial buildings, houses with integral garages and small offices, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
For steel fire doors in Workington we order factory-prepared doorsets so the hardware matches the test evidence exactly. We anchor and seal steel frames in Workington buildings to the manufacturer's instructions and photograph the work before it is covered.
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:
- Factory-prepared hinges and hardware
- Ratings to suit the wall, including 60 minutes
- Powder-coated finishes
- Frame anchoring and gap sealing to instructions
Which fire door rules apply in Workington?
The rules that apply to fire doors in Workington 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 Workington 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.
