Steel fire doors in Aldershot: what's involved
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Aldershot, we offer steel fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
In and around Aldershot, fire door work covers everything from small blocks of flats to small offices. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Plant rooms, bin stores and warehouses in and around Aldershot often call for steel doorsets that can take knocks and damp. We anchor and seal steel frames in Aldershot 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.
Each installation includes:
- Single and double steel doorsets
- Ratings to suit the wall, including 60 minutes
- Locks, closers and panic hardware as specified
- Factory-prepared hinges and hardware
Which fire door rules apply in Aldershot?
England's framework applies in Aldershot. 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.
For blocks over 11 metres in Aldershot, 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.
Who needs steel fire doors in Aldershot?

Questions from Aldershot
Is Aldershot within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Aldershot in Hampshire and neighbouring towns such as Farnham. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Aldershot 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.
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.
