Steel fire doors in South Yorkshire, done to the evidence
Across South Yorkshire, from Sheffield to Rotherham, we survey, supply and fit steel fire doors for homes, blocks of flats and workplaces.
Plant rooms, bin stores and warehouses in and around South Yorkshire often call for steel doorsets that can take knocks and damp. For steel fire doors in South Yorkshire we order factory-prepared doorsets so the hardware matches the test evidence exactly.
South Yorkshire has a mix of buildings, from purpose-built blocks to converted houses and commercial premises. We tailor the programme to the building, not the other way round.
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.
The regulations behind fire doors in South Yorkshire
The rules that apply to fire doors in South Yorkshire are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a South Yorkshire block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.
