Steel fire doors: our service in Kirkby
Our steel fire doors service covers Kirkby and the wider Merseyside area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Around Kirkby, care homes, houses with integral garages and light industrial buildings all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
Plant rooms, bin stores and warehouses in and around Kirkby often call for steel doorsets that can take knocks and damp. For steel fire doors in Kirkby 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.
What you get:
- Single and double steel doorsets
- Locks, closers and panic hardware as specified
- Factory-prepared hinges and hardware
- Powder-coated finishes
Which fire door rules apply in Kirkby?
In Kirkby, 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 Kirkby 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.

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.
Are steel fire doors better than timber?
Not better, just suited to different places. Steel doors are tougher and resist damp and impact, so they suit plant rooms and industrial areas. Timber doors are more common in residential and office interiors.
