Steel fire doors in Rochdale, done to the evidence
If you need steel fire doors in Rochdale, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
In and around Rochdale, fire door work covers everything from care homes to industrial estates. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
We anchor and seal steel frames in Rochdale buildings to the manufacturer's instructions and photograph the work before it is covered. Plant rooms, bin stores and warehouses in and around Rochdale often call for steel doorsets that can take knocks and damp.
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.
Each installation includes:
- Powder-coated finishes
- Factory-prepared hinges and hardware
- Frame anchoring and gap sealing to instructions
- Single and double steel doorsets
The regulations behind fire doors in Rochdale
In Rochdale, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Rochdale building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.

In Rochdale, as anywhere, the duty holder varies: a responsible person for a workplace, a landlord or managing agent for a block or HMO, or a homeowner after building work.
