Steel fire doors in Liverpool, done to the evidence
If you need steel fire doors in Liverpool, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
In and around Liverpool, fire door work covers everything from clinics to hotels. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
For steel fire doors in Liverpool we order factory-prepared doorsets so the hardware matches the test evidence exactly. We anchor and seal steel frames in Liverpool buildings to the manufacturer's instructions and photograph the work before it is covered.
Where steel fire doors are the better choice
Steel doorsets cope with impact, damp and rough handling better than most timber doors. They are a natural fit for plant and boiler rooms, refuse stores, car park lobbies, workshops and warehouses. Many steel doorsets are available in ratings of 60 minutes and beyond where the test evidence supports it, which suits the higher-rated walls around plant spaces.
As standard, the work covers:
- Powder-coated finishes
- Single and double steel doorsets
- Locks, closers and panic hardware as specified
- Factory-prepared hinges and hardware
Fire door law for Liverpool properties
Fire doors in Liverpool fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.
For residential buildings in Liverpool above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.

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.
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.
