What steel fire doors in Woking should include
Our steel fire doors service in Woking is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Fire doors in Woking protect escape routes in industrial units, purpose-built flats and schools alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
For steel fire doors in Woking we order factory-prepared doorsets so the hardware matches the test evidence exactly. We anchor and seal steel frames in Woking buildings to the manufacturer's instructions and photograph the work before it is covered.
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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Single and double steel doorsets
- Locks, closers and panic hardware as specified
- Factory-prepared hinges and hardware
- Powder-coated finishes
Rules and responsibilities in Woking
The rules that apply to fire doors in Woking 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 Woking 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.

Questions from Woking
Do you work in Woking?
Yes, we take on steel fire doors in Woking and the surrounding area, including Guildford and Egham. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
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.
Are steel fire doors better than timber?
Not better, just suited to different places. Steel doors are tougher and resist damp and impact, so they suit plant rooms and industrial areas. Timber doors are more common in residential and office interiors.
Do steel fire doors need intumescent seals?
Some steel doorsets use intumescent seals and some do not, depending on how they were tested. The certification sets out exactly what is required.
