Steel fire doors: our service in Stevenage
Our steel fire doors service in Stevenage is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
In and around Stevenage, fire door work covers everything from industrial estates to high-street shops. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
We anchor and seal steel frames in Stevenage buildings to the manufacturer's instructions and photograph the work before it is covered. Plant rooms, bin stores and warehouses in and around Stevenage often call for steel doorsets that can take knocks and damp.
Where steel fire doors are the better choice
Steel doorsets cope with impact, damp and rough handling better than most timber doors. They are a natural fit for plant and boiler rooms, refuse stores, car park lobbies, workshops and warehouses. Many steel doorsets are available in ratings of 60 minutes and beyond where the test evidence supports it, which suits the higher-rated walls around plant spaces.
What you get:
- Factory-prepared hinges and hardware
- Locks, closers and panic hardware as specified
- Frame anchoring and gap sealing to instructions
- Single and double steel doorsets
Which fire door rules apply in Stevenage?
The rules that apply to fire doors in Stevenage 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 Stevenage 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.

Questions
Is Stevenage within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Stevenage in Hertfordshire and neighbouring towns such as Hitchin. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Stevenage building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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.
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.
