Steel fire doors in Motherwell, done to the evidence
Our steel fire doors service covers Motherwell and the wider Lanarkshire area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
In and around Motherwell, fire door work covers everything from light industrial buildings to small offices. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
For steel fire doors in Motherwell we order factory-prepared doorsets so the hardware matches the test evidence exactly. We anchor and seal steel frames in Motherwell 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.
What you get:
- Powder-coated finishes
- Single and double steel doorsets
- Ratings to suit the wall, including 60 minutes
- Frame anchoring and gap sealing to instructions
Fire door law for Motherwell properties
Scottish rules apply to fire doors in Motherwell. The Technical Handbooks under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 set the standard for new and altered doors, and the local authority issues building warrants where they are needed. Workplaces and other non-domestic premises are covered by the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005.
Residential common parts in Motherwell are treated differently from England, so we check the fire risk assessment and any landlord or factor requirements before specifying work.
