Steel fire doors in Feltham: what's involved
From the TW14 postcode district outwards, we take on steel fire doors across Feltham for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Feltham has a broad mix of buildings, including student accommodation, schools and hotels, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Plant rooms, bin stores and warehouses in and around Feltham often call for steel doorsets that can take knocks and damp. We anchor and seal steel frames in Feltham buildings to the manufacturer's instructions and photograph the work before it is covered.
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:
- Ratings to suit the wall, including 60 minutes
- Locks, closers and panic hardware as specified
- Frame anchoring and gap sealing to instructions
- Powder-coated finishes
The regulations behind fire doors in Feltham
In Feltham, 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 Feltham 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.

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.
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.
