Steel fire doors: our service in Greenock
From the PA15 postcode district outwards, we take on steel fire doors across Greenock for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Buildings in and around Greenock range from small offices to care homes and schools. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
Plant rooms, bin stores and warehouses in and around Greenock often call for steel doorsets that can take knocks and damp. For steel fire doors in Greenock we order factory-prepared doorsets so the hardware matches the test evidence exactly.
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.
On a typical job that means:
- Single and double steel doorsets
- Ratings to suit the wall, including 60 minutes
- Powder-coated finishes
- Frame anchoring and gap sealing to instructions
What the rules say for Greenock
Scottish rules apply to fire doors in Greenock. The Technical Handbooks under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 set the standard for new and altered doors, and the local authority issues building warrants where they are needed. Workplaces and other non-domestic premises are covered by the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005.
Residential common parts in Greenock are treated differently from England, so we check the fire risk assessment and any landlord or factor requirements before specifying work.

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.
