Steel fire doors for Bentley buildings
If you need steel fire doors in Bentley, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Around Bentley, houses with integral garages, family homes after loft conversions and small offices all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
Plant rooms, bin stores and warehouses in and around Bentley often call for steel doorsets that can take knocks and damp. We anchor and seal steel frames in Bentley buildings to the manufacturer's instructions and photograph the work before it is covered.
How installation differs from timber
Steel frames are fixed with the anchors and fixing centres the manufacturer specifies, and frames are often grouted or packed according to the instructions. Steel doors usually arrive with hinges and hardware preparations made in the factory, so the hardware set must be ordered correctly at the outset. BS 8214:2026 now covers steel, metal and composite doors as well as timber, including how to seal them to the surrounding structure.
Each installation includes:
- Powder-coated finishes
- Single and double steel doorsets
- Factory-prepared hinges and hardware
- Frame anchoring and gap sealing to instructions
The regulations behind fire doors in Bentley
The rules that apply to fire doors in Bentley 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 Bentley 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.
