Steel fire doors for Stratford buildings
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Stratford, we offer steel fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Buildings in and around Stratford range from hotels to converted flats and restaurants. 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 Stratford often call for steel doorsets that can take knocks and damp. We anchor and seal steel frames in Stratford 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:
- Ratings to suit the wall, including 60 minutes
- Powder-coated finishes
- Factory-prepared hinges and hardware
- Locks, closers and panic hardware as specified
Rules and responsibilities in Stratford
Fire doors in Stratford fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.
For residential buildings in Stratford above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.

Questions
Do you work in Stratford?
Yes, we take on steel fire doors in Stratford and the surrounding area, including Bow and Canning Town. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Stratford 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.
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.
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.
