Steel fire doors in Bath, done to the evidence
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Bath, we offer steel fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Bath has a broad mix of buildings, including GP surgeries, converted period houses and offices, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
For steel fire doors in Bath we order factory-prepared doorsets so the hardware matches the test evidence exactly. We anchor and seal steel frames in Bath buildings to the manufacturer's instructions and photograph the work before it is covered.
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.
Each installation includes:
- Ratings to suit the wall, including 60 minutes
- Locks, closers and panic hardware as specified
- Single and double steel doorsets
- Frame anchoring and gap sealing to instructions

Fire doors in Bath 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 Bath 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.
