Steel fire doors for Tipton buildings
Our steel fire doors service in Tipton is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Fire doors in Tipton protect escape routes in family homes after loft conversions, small blocks of flats and care homes alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
We anchor and seal steel frames in Tipton buildings to the manufacturer's instructions and photograph the work before it is covered. Plant rooms, bin stores and warehouses in and around Tipton 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.
What you get:
- Powder-coated finishes
- Factory-prepared hinges and hardware
- Locks, closers and panic hardware as specified
- Ratings to suit the wall, including 60 minutes
Which fire door rules apply in Tipton?
England's framework applies in Tipton. 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 Tipton, 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.

Questions from Tipton

What happens on a survey in Tipton?
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.
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.
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.
