Steel fire doors in Merseyside: what's involved
Across Merseyside, from Liverpool to Birkenhead, we survey, supply and fit steel fire doors for homes, blocks of flats and workplaces.
Plant rooms, bin stores and warehouses in and around Merseyside often call for steel doorsets that can take knocks and damp. For steel fire doors in Merseyside we order factory-prepared doorsets so the hardware matches the test evidence exactly.
Merseyside has a mix of buildings, from purpose-built blocks to converted houses and commercial premises. We tailor the programme to the building, not the other way round.
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.
Which fire door rules apply in Merseyside?
England's framework applies in Merseyside. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.
For blocks over 11 metres in Merseyside, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.
