Getting steel fire doors right in Hyde
If you need steel fire doors in Hyde, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Fire doors in Hyde protect escape routes in small blocks of flats, family homes after loft conversions and schools alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
For steel fire doors in Hyde we order factory-prepared doorsets so the hardware matches the test evidence exactly. We anchor and seal steel frames in Hyde 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:
- Frame anchoring and gap sealing to instructions
- Locks, closers and panic hardware as specified
- Factory-prepared hinges and hardware
- Ratings to suit the wall, including 60 minutes
The regulations behind fire doors in Hyde
Fire doors in Hyde 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.
For residential buildings in Hyde 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
Is Hyde within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Hyde in Greater Manchester and neighbouring towns such as Denton. There is no charge for the survey.
How quickly can you survey in Hyde?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
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.
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.
