Steel fire doors for Morden buildings
Our steel fire doors service covers Morden and the wider Greater London area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
In and around Morden, fire door work covers everything from converted flats to restaurants. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Plant rooms, bin stores and warehouses in and around Morden often call for steel doorsets that can take knocks and damp. We anchor and seal steel frames in Morden 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.
What you get:
- Single and double steel doorsets
- Ratings to suit the wall, including 60 minutes
- Frame anchoring and gap sealing to instructions
- Locks, closers and panic hardware as specified
Which fire door rules apply in Morden?
England's framework applies in Morden. 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 Morden sits with the London Fire Brigade.
For blocks over 11 metres in Morden, 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 Morden within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Morden in Greater London and neighbouring towns such as Mitcham. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Morden building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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.
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.
