Fire doors in Enfield Town protect escape routes in mixed-use office buildings, student accommodation and schools alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
We anchor and seal steel frames in Enfield Town buildings to the manufacturer's instructions and photograph the work before it is covered. Plant rooms, bin stores and warehouses in and around Enfield 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Ratings to suit the wall, including 60 minutes
- Factory-prepared hinges and hardware
- Powder-coated finishes
- Single and double steel doorsets
The regulations behind fire doors in Enfield Town
England's framework applies in Enfield Town. 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. Enforcement of fire safety law in Enfield Town sits with the London Fire Brigade.
For blocks over 11 metres in Enfield Town, 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.

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.
Can steel fire doors be painted?
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.
