Steel fire doors in Gorseinon, done to the evidence
If you need steel fire doors in Gorseinon, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Fire doors in Gorseinon protect escape routes in light industrial buildings, houses with integral garages and small blocks of flats alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
We anchor and seal steel frames in Gorseinon buildings to the manufacturer's instructions and photograph the work before it is covered. Plant rooms, bin stores and warehouses in and around Gorseinon often call for steel doorsets that can take knocks and damp.
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.
Each installation includes:
- Ratings to suit the wall, including 60 minutes
- Powder-coated finishes
- Locks, closers and panic hardware as specified
- Frame anchoring and gap sealing to instructions

The English regulation 10 checking regime does not extend to Gorseinon, so how often doors are checked comes from the fire risk assessment. We hand over evidence that fits whatever regime your assessor sets.
