Getting steel fire doors right in Bedworth
Our steel fire doors service covers Bedworth and the wider Warwickshire area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
In and around Bedworth, fire door work covers everything from care homes to family homes after loft conversions. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Plant rooms, bin stores and warehouses in and around Bedworth often call for steel doorsets that can take knocks and damp. For steel fire doors in Bedworth we order factory-prepared doorsets so the hardware matches the test evidence exactly.
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.
On a typical job that means:
- Ratings to suit the wall, including 60 minutes
- Frame anchoring and gap sealing to instructions
- Single and double steel doorsets
- Factory-prepared hinges and hardware
Fire door law for Bedworth properties
England's framework applies in Bedworth. 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 Bedworth, 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.
