Steel fire doors in Stratford-upon-Avon, done to the evidence
Our steel fire doors service covers Stratford-upon-Avon 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.
Fire doors in Stratford-upon-Avon protect escape routes in small offices, light industrial buildings and schools alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
We anchor and seal steel frames in Stratford-upon-Avon buildings to the manufacturer's instructions and photograph the work before it is covered. Plant rooms, bin stores and warehouses in and around Stratford-upon-Avon often call for steel doorsets that can take knocks and damp.
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.
What you get:
- Factory-prepared hinges and hardware
- Ratings to suit the wall, including 60 minutes
- Locks, closers and panic hardware as specified
- Frame anchoring and gap sealing to instructions

Questions
Is Stratford-upon-Avon within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Stratford-upon-Avon in Warwickshire and neighbouring towns such as Warwick. There is no charge for the survey.
What happens on a survey in Stratford-upon-Avon?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
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.
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.
