Steel fire doors in Gloucestershire, done to the evidence
Across Gloucestershire, from Gloucester to Cheltenham, we survey, supply and fit steel fire doors for homes, blocks of flats and workplaces.
We anchor and seal steel frames in Gloucestershire buildings to the manufacturer's instructions and photograph the work before it is covered. For steel fire doors in Gloucestershire we order factory-prepared doorsets so the hardware matches the test evidence exactly.
Gloucestershire has a mix of buildings, from purpose-built blocks to converted houses and commercial premises. We tailor the programme to the building, not the other way round.
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.
Fire door law for Gloucestershire properties
The rules that apply to fire doors in Gloucestershire 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 Gloucestershire 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.

Yes. We cover all of Gloucestershire, including Gloucester and Cheltenham. Surveys and written quotes are free.
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.

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.
