Steel fire doors in Swanley: what's involved
If you need steel fire doors in Swanley, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Fire doors in Swanley protect escape routes in schools, family homes after loft conversions and light industrial buildings alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Plant rooms, bin stores and warehouses in and around Swanley often call for steel doorsets that can take knocks and damp. For steel fire doors in Swanley 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.

- Single and double steel doorsets
- Factory-prepared hinges and hardware
- Powder-coated finishes
- Frame anchoring and gap sealing to instructions
Rules and responsibilities in Swanley
In Swanley, 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 Swanley 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.
