What steel fire doors in Andover should include
Our steel fire doors service covers Andover and the wider Hampshire area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Buildings in and around Andover range from small blocks of flats to houses with integral garages and family homes after loft conversions. 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 Andover often call for steel doorsets that can take knocks and damp. For steel fire doors in Andover we order factory-prepared doorsets so the hardware matches the test evidence exactly.
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:
- Factory-prepared hinges and hardware
- Powder-coated finishes
- Locks, closers and panic hardware as specified
- Single and double steel doorsets
Which fire door rules apply in Andover?
In Andover, 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 Andover 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.
