Steel fire doors for Fleet buildings
Looking for steel fire doors in Fleet? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Fleet and the wider Hampshire area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Fleet has a broad mix of buildings, including small blocks of flats, schools and light industrial buildings, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Plant rooms, bin stores and warehouses in and around Fleet often call for steel doorsets that can take knocks and damp. For steel fire doors in Fleet 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
- Ratings to suit the wall, including 60 minutes
- Frame anchoring and gap sealing to instructions
Which fire door rules apply in Fleet?
In Fleet, 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 Fleet 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.
Which buildings in Fleet need steel fire doors?
The need for steel fire doors usually arises in plant rooms or warehouses, and sometimes bin stores. Each has its own pressures, such as residents at home or a building that must stay open, so we plan the sequence of work in Fleet to keep escape routes protected throughout.
