What steel fire doors in Egham should include
From the TW20 postcode district outwards, we take on steel fire doors across Egham for homes, blocks and workplaces.
In and around Egham, fire door work covers everything from light industrial buildings to care homes. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
We anchor and seal steel frames in Egham buildings to the manufacturer's instructions and photograph the work before it is covered. Plant rooms, bin stores and warehouses in and around Egham often call for steel doorsets that can take knocks and damp.
Where steel fire doors are the better choice
Steel doorsets cope with impact, damp and rough handling better than most timber doors. They are a natural fit for plant and boiler rooms, refuse stores, car park lobbies, workshops and warehouses. Many steel doorsets are available in ratings of 60 minutes and beyond where the test evidence supports it, which suits the higher-rated walls around plant spaces.
Each installation includes:
- Ratings to suit the wall, including 60 minutes
- Single and double steel doorsets
- Factory-prepared hinges and hardware
- Locks, closers and panic hardware as specified
Rules and responsibilities in Egham
The rules that apply to fire doors in Egham 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 Egham 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.

Common questions
Is Egham within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Egham in Surrey and neighbouring towns such as Staines. 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.
How long do steel doorsets take to make?
Steel doorsets are usually made to order with factory-prepared hardware, so allow a few weeks. We confirm the lead time with your quote.
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.
