Steel fire doors: our service in Chapeltown
From the S35 postcode district outwards, we take on steel fire doors across Chapeltown for homes, blocks and workplaces.
In and around Chapeltown, fire door work covers everything from family homes after loft conversions to small offices. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Plant rooms, bin stores and warehouses in and around Chapeltown often call for steel doorsets that can take knocks and damp. We anchor and seal steel frames in Chapeltown 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Frame anchoring and gap sealing to instructions
- Single and double steel doorsets
- Factory-prepared hinges and hardware
- Ratings to suit the wall, including 60 minutes

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.

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.
