Steel fire doors: our service in Warwick
Looking for steel fire doors in Warwick? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Warwick and the wider Warwickshire area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Buildings in and around Warwick range from light industrial buildings to small blocks of flats and small offices. 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 Warwick often call for steel doorsets that can take knocks and damp. We anchor and seal steel frames in Warwick 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.
Each installation includes:
- Frame anchoring and gap sealing to instructions
- Powder-coated finishes
- Factory-prepared hinges and hardware
- Ratings to suit the wall, including 60 minutes
The regulations behind fire doors in Warwick
Fire doors in Warwick fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.
For residential buildings in Warwick above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.

Common questions
Do you cover CV34 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Warwick including CV34, and nearby towns such as Royal Leamington Spa and Kenilworth. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Warwick building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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.
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.
