Steel fire doors: our service in Broadstairs
We provide steel fire doors in Broadstairs (CT10 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
In and around Broadstairs, fire door work covers everything from small blocks of flats to care homes. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Plant rooms, bin stores and warehouses in and around Broadstairs often call for steel doorsets that can take knocks and damp. We anchor and seal steel frames in Broadstairs buildings to the manufacturer's instructions and photograph the work before it is covered.
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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Single and double steel doorsets
- Factory-prepared hinges and hardware
- Locks, closers and panic hardware as specified
- Frame anchoring and gap sealing to instructions
The regulations behind fire doors in Broadstairs
In Broadstairs, 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 Broadstairs 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 Broadstairs need steel fire doors?
From warehouses to workshops, the requirement for steel fire doors in Broadstairs 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.

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.

Some steel doorsets use intumescent seals and some do not, depending on how they were tested. The certification sets out exactly what is required.
