Steel fire doors for Horsham buildings
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Horsham, we offer steel fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
In and around Horsham, fire door work covers everything from low-rise blocks of flats to care homes. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
We anchor and seal steel frames in Horsham buildings to the manufacturer's instructions and photograph the work before it is covered. Plant rooms, bin stores and warehouses in and around Horsham 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:
- Locks, closers and panic hardware as specified
- Frame anchoring and gap sealing to instructions
- Factory-prepared hinges and hardware
- Ratings to suit the wall, including 60 minutes
Fire door law for Horsham properties
The rules that apply to fire doors in Horsham are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a Horsham block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.

Questions from Horsham
Is Horsham within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Horsham in West Sussex and neighbouring towns such as Crawley. There is no charge for the survey.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
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.
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.
