Steel fire doors for Maghull buildings
We provide steel fire doors in Maghull (L31 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Fire doors in Maghull protect escape routes in small offices, family homes after loft conversions and care homes alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Plant rooms, bin stores and warehouses in and around Maghull often call for steel doorsets that can take knocks and damp. We anchor and seal steel frames in Maghull buildings to the manufacturer's instructions and photograph the work before it is covered.
How installation differs from timber
Steel frames are fixed with the anchors and fixing centres the manufacturer specifies, and frames are often grouted or packed according to the instructions. Steel doors usually arrive with hinges and hardware preparations made in the factory, so the hardware set must be ordered correctly at the outset. BS 8214:2026 now covers steel, metal and composite doors as well as timber, including how to seal them to the surrounding structure.
As standard, the work covers:
- Locks, closers and panic hardware as specified
- Ratings to suit the wall, including 60 minutes
- Single and double steel doorsets
- Frame anchoring and gap sealing to instructions
Rules and responsibilities in Maghull
England's framework applies in Maghull. 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 Maghull, 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.
