Steel fire doors: our service in Somerset
We provide steel fire doors across Somerset, covering 10 towns and 55 postcode districts, including Bath, Weston-super-Mare and Taunton.
For steel fire doors in Somerset we order factory-prepared doorsets so the hardware matches the test evidence exactly. Plant rooms, bin stores and warehouses in and around Somerset often call for steel doorsets that can take knocks and damp.
Fire door work in Somerset 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.
Fire door law for Somerset properties
Fire doors in Somerset 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 Somerset 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.

Yes. We cover all of Somerset, including Bath and Weston-super-Mare. Surveys and written quotes are free.
How long do steel doorsets take to make?

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.
