Steel fire doors: our service in Greenwich
If you need steel fire doors in Greenwich, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Buildings in and around Greenwich range from mixed-use office buildings to purpose-built blocks of flats and care homes. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
Plant rooms, bin stores and warehouses in and around Greenwich often call for steel doorsets that can take knocks and damp. We anchor and seal steel frames in Greenwich buildings to the manufacturer's instructions and photograph the work before it is covered.
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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Frame anchoring and gap sealing to instructions
- Single and double steel doorsets
- Factory-prepared hinges and hardware
- Ratings to suit the wall, including 60 minutes
The regulations behind fire doors in Greenwich
England's framework applies in Greenwich. 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 Greenwich sits with the London Fire Brigade.
For blocks over 11 metres in Greenwich, 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.
Which buildings in Greenwich need steel fire doors?
From plant rooms to car park lobbies, the requirement for steel fire doors in Greenwich comes from the fire strategy or risk assessment for the building. We work from that document, or help you interpret your inspection report, before quoting.

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.
