Steel fire doors in Wiltshire, done to the evidence
Our steel fire doors service runs throughout Wiltshire. Main towns include Swindon, Salisbury and Trowbridge, and we cover the smaller places in between.
Plant rooms, bin stores and warehouses in and around Wiltshire often call for steel doorsets that can take knocks and damp. We anchor and seal steel frames in Wiltshire buildings to the manufacturer's instructions and photograph the work before it is covered.
Fire door work in Wiltshire spans housing providers with large estates, individual landlords, businesses and homeowners. We price every job from a survey, never from a list price alone, because the condition of the frames and the hardware makes a real difference.
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.
Fire door law for Wiltshire properties
The rules that apply to fire doors in Wiltshire 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 Wiltshire 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.

Common questions
Do you provide steel fire doors across Wiltshire?
Yes. We cover all of Wiltshire, including Swindon and Salisbury. Surveys and written quotes are free.
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.
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.
