Steel fire doors for Hanworth buildings
We provide steel fire doors in Hanworth (TW13 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Fire doors in Hanworth protect escape routes in care homes, mixed-use office buildings and hotels alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Plant rooms, bin stores and warehouses in and around Hanworth often call for steel doorsets that can take knocks and damp. We anchor and seal steel frames in Hanworth 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Frame anchoring and gap sealing to instructions
- Ratings to suit the wall, including 60 minutes
- Powder-coated finishes
- Single and double steel doorsets
Fire door law for Hanworth properties
England's framework applies in Hanworth. 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 Hanworth sits with the London Fire Brigade.
For blocks over 11 metres in Hanworth, 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.

Common questions
Is Hanworth within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Hanworth in Greater London and neighbouring towns such as Hampton. There is no charge for the survey.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
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.
