We provide steel fire doors in Haywards Heath (RH16 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.

Fire doors in Haywards Heath protect escape routes in small offices, schools and light industrial buildings alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.

Plant rooms, bin stores and warehouses in and around Haywards Heath often call for steel doorsets that can take knocks and damp. For steel fire doors in Haywards Heath we order factory-prepared doorsets so the hardware matches the test evidence exactly.

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.

On a typical job that means:

• Locks, closers and panic hardware as specified
• Frame anchoring and gap sealing to instructions
• Ratings to suit the wall, including 60 minutes
• Single and double steel doorsets
