Steel fire doors in Birmingham: what's involved
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Birmingham, we offer steel fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
In and around Birmingham, fire door work covers everything from converted flats to purpose-built blocks of flats. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
For steel fire doors in Birmingham we order factory-prepared doorsets so the hardware matches the test evidence exactly. We anchor and seal steel frames in Birmingham buildings to the manufacturer's instructions and photograph the work before it is covered.
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:
- Single and double steel doorsets
- Frame anchoring and gap sealing to instructions
- Locks, closers and panic hardware as specified
- Ratings to suit the wall, including 60 minutes
Which fire door rules apply in Birmingham?
England's framework applies in Birmingham. 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 Birmingham, 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.
Which buildings in Birmingham need steel fire doors?
Landlords, managing agents, facilities teams and homeowners in Birmingham can all commission steel fire doors from us. The usual settings are plant rooms and bin stores, though single doors for workshops are just as welcome.

Questions
Do you work in Birmingham?
Yes, we take on steel fire doors in Birmingham and the surrounding area, including Aston and Smethwick. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.

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.
Do steel fire doors need intumescent seals?
Some steel doorsets use intumescent seals and some do not, depending on how they were tested. The certification sets out exactly what is required.
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.
