What steel fire doors in Burnham-on-Sea should include
If you need steel fire doors in Burnham-on-Sea, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Fire doors in Burnham-on-Sea protect escape routes in family homes after loft conversions, small offices 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 Burnham-on-Sea often call for steel doorsets that can take knocks and damp. We anchor and seal steel frames in Burnham-on-Sea 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:
- Factory-prepared hinges and hardware
- Ratings to suit the wall, including 60 minutes
- Locks, closers and panic hardware as specified
- Single and double steel doorsets

Questions
Is Burnham-on-Sea within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Burnham-on-Sea in Somerset and neighbouring towns such as Weston-super-Mare. There is no charge for the survey.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
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.
Can steel fire doors be painted?
They are usually supplied powder coated. Repainting on site is possible but must avoid covering seals and labels, and should follow the manufacturer's guidance.
