Steel fire doors in Cheshunt, done to the evidence
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Cheshunt, we offer steel fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Cheshunt has a broad mix of buildings, including houses with integral garages, family homes after loft conversions and care homes, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
For steel fire doors in Cheshunt we order factory-prepared doorsets so the hardware matches the test evidence exactly. We anchor and seal steel frames in Cheshunt 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Single and double steel doorsets
- Locks, closers and panic hardware as specified
- Powder-coated finishes
- Ratings to suit the wall, including 60 minutes
The regulations behind fire doors in Cheshunt
The rules that apply to fire doors in Cheshunt are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a Cheshunt block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.
Which buildings in Cheshunt need steel fire doors?
From plant rooms to warehouses, the requirement for steel fire doors in Cheshunt comes from the fire strategy or risk assessment for the building. We work from that document, or help you interpret your inspection report, before quoting.

Questions
Do you cover EN8 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Cheshunt including EN8, and nearby towns such as Waltham Abbey and Enfield Town. The survey and written quote are free.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
Can steel fire doors be painted?
They are usually supplied powder coated. Repainting on site is possible but must avoid covering seals and labels, and should follow the manufacturer's guidance.
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.
