Steel fire doors: our service in Hatfield
Our steel fire doors service in Hatfield is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
In and around Hatfield, fire door work covers everything from schools to houses with integral garages. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Plant rooms, bin stores and warehouses in and around Hatfield often call for steel doorsets that can take knocks and damp. For steel fire doors in Hatfield 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:
- Locks, closers and panic hardware as specified
- Single and double steel doorsets
- Ratings to suit the wall, including 60 minutes
- Frame anchoring and gap sealing to instructions
The regulations behind fire doors in Hatfield
The rules that apply to fire doors in Hatfield 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 Hatfield 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.
