Steel fire doors: our service in Oxfordshire
We provide steel fire doors across Oxfordshire, covering 6 towns and 30 postcode districts, including Oxford, Banbury and Abingdon.
Plant rooms, bin stores and warehouses in and around Oxfordshire often call for steel doorsets that can take knocks and damp. We anchor and seal steel frames in Oxfordshire buildings to the manufacturer's instructions and photograph the work before it is covered.
Fire door work in Oxfordshire spans housing providers with large estates, individual landlords, businesses and homeowners. We price every job from a survey, never from a list price alone, because the condition of the frames and the hardware makes a real difference.
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 the rules say for Oxfordshire
In Oxfordshire, 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 Oxfordshire 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.
