What steel fire doors in Canning Town should include
Our steel fire doors service covers Canning Town and the wider Greater London area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
In and around Canning Town, fire door work covers everything from shared houses to hotels. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
We anchor and seal steel frames in Canning Town buildings to the manufacturer's instructions and photograph the work before it is covered. Plant rooms, bin stores and warehouses in and around Canning Town often call for steel doorsets that can take knocks and damp.
How installation differs from timber
Steel frames are fixed with the anchors and fixing centres the manufacturer specifies, and frames are often grouted or packed according to the instructions. Steel doors usually arrive with hinges and hardware preparations made in the factory, so the hardware set must be ordered correctly at the outset. BS 8214:2026 now covers steel, metal and composite doors as well as timber, including how to seal them to the surrounding structure.
What you get:
- Locks, closers and panic hardware as specified
- Powder-coated finishes
- Single and double steel doorsets
- Frame anchoring and gap sealing to instructions
Fire door law for Canning Town properties
In Canning Town, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Canning Town building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.

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.
How long do steel doorsets take to make?
Steel doorsets are usually made to order with factory-prepared hardware, so allow a few weeks. We confirm the lead time with your quote.
