Steel fire doors for Winchester buildings

Looking for steel fire doors in Winchester? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Winchester and the wider Hampshire area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.

In and around Winchester, fire door work covers everything from care homes to family homes after loft conversions. We plan each job around the people who use the building.

For steel fire doors in Winchester we order factory-prepared doorsets so the hardware matches the test evidence exactly. We anchor and seal steel frames in Winchester buildings to the manufacturer's instructions and photograph the work before it is covered.

How installation differs from timber

Steel frames are fixed with the anchors and fixing centres the manufacturer specifies, and frames are often grouted or packed according to the instructions. Steel doors usually arrive with hinges and hardware preparations made in the factory, so the hardware set must be ordered correctly at the outset. BS 8214:2026 now covers steel, metal and composite doors as well as timber, including how to seal them to the surrounding structure.

Each installation includes:

• Frame anchoring and gap sealing to instructions
• Ratings to suit the wall, including 60 minutes
• Factory-prepared hinges and hardware
• Powder-coated finishes

What the rules say for Winchester

England's framework applies in Winchester. 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 Winchester, 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.
