Steel fire doors in Shipley, done to the evidence
When you book steel fire doors in Shipley, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Buildings in and around Shipley range from light industrial buildings to family homes after loft conversions and schools. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
We anchor and seal steel frames in Shipley buildings to the manufacturer's instructions and photograph the work before it is covered. Plant rooms, bin stores and warehouses in and around Shipley 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:
- Single and double steel doorsets
- Ratings to suit the wall, including 60 minutes
- Factory-prepared hinges and hardware
- Powder-coated finishes
Fire door law for Shipley properties
In Shipley, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Shipley building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.

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