Steel fire doors for Fulham buildings
From the SW6 postcode district outwards, we take on steel fire doors across Fulham for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Buildings in and around Fulham range from restaurants to purpose-built blocks of flats and converted flats. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
For steel fire doors in Fulham we order factory-prepared doorsets so the hardware matches the test evidence exactly. We anchor and seal steel frames in Fulham 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Locks, closers and panic hardware as specified
- Factory-prepared hinges and hardware
- Powder-coated finishes
- Single and double steel doorsets

Some steel doorsets use intumescent seals and some do not, depending on how they were tested. The certification sets out exactly what is required.
