Steel fire doors: our service in Burnley
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Burnley, we offer steel fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Buildings in and around Burnley range from GP surgeries to offices and HMOs. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
Plant rooms, bin stores and warehouses in and around Burnley often call for steel doorsets that can take knocks and damp. We anchor and seal steel frames in Burnley 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:
- Locks, closers and panic hardware as specified
- Factory-prepared hinges and hardware
- Single and double steel doorsets
- Ratings to suit the wall, including 60 minutes
Fire door law for Burnley properties
In Burnley, 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 Burnley 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.

Common questions
Do you work in Burnley?
Yes, we take on steel fire doors in Burnley and the surrounding area, including Nelson and Colne. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Burnley 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.
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.
Do steel fire doors need intumescent seals?
Some steel doorsets use intumescent seals and some do not, depending on how they were tested. The certification sets out exactly what is required.
