Steel fire doors for Farnham buildings
We provide steel fire doors in Farnham (GU9 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Buildings in and around Farnham range from small offices to light industrial buildings and care homes. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
Plant rooms, bin stores and warehouses in and around Farnham often call for steel doorsets that can take knocks and damp. We anchor and seal steel frames in Farnham 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.
What you get:
- Ratings to suit the wall, including 60 minutes
- Factory-prepared hinges and hardware
- Locks, closers and panic hardware as specified
- Powder-coated finishes
Fire door law for Farnham properties
In Farnham, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Farnham building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.
