Steel fire doors in Farnborough: what's involved
When you book steel fire doors in Farnborough, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Fire doors in Farnborough protect escape routes in houses with integral garages, high-street shops and care homes alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Plant rooms, bin stores and warehouses in and around Farnborough often call for steel doorsets that can take knocks and damp. We anchor and seal steel frames in Farnborough 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Powder-coated finishes
- Locks, closers and panic hardware as specified
- Ratings to suit the wall, including 60 minutes
- Single and double steel doorsets
What the rules say for Farnborough
England's framework applies in Farnborough. 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 Farnborough, 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.

Common questions
Is Farnborough within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Farnborough in Hampshire and neighbouring towns such as Camberley. There is no charge for the survey.
How quickly can you survey in Farnborough?
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.
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.
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.
