Steel fire doors: our service in Warwickshire
For steel fire doors anywhere in Warwickshire, one team handles the survey, supply, installation and handover, covering Nuneaton, Rugby, Royal Leamington Spa and the rest of the county.
We anchor and seal steel frames in Warwickshire buildings to the manufacturer's instructions and photograph the work before it is covered. For steel fire doors in Warwickshire we order factory-prepared doorsets so the hardware matches the test evidence exactly.
Warwickshire has a mix of buildings, from purpose-built blocks to converted houses and commercial premises. We tailor the programme to the building, not the other way round.
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.
Rules and responsibilities in Warwickshire
England's framework applies in Warwickshire. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.
For blocks over 11 metres in Warwickshire, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.
