What steel fire doors in Evesham should include
Looking for steel fire doors in Evesham? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Evesham and the wider Worcestershire area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Buildings in and around Evesham range from houses with integral garages to small offices and care homes. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
For steel fire doors in Evesham we order factory-prepared doorsets so the hardware matches the test evidence exactly. We anchor and seal steel frames in Evesham buildings to the manufacturer's instructions and photograph the work before it is covered.
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:
- Powder-coated finishes
- Factory-prepared hinges and hardware
- Frame anchoring and gap sealing to instructions
- Ratings to suit the wall, including 60 minutes
What the rules say for Evesham
In Evesham, 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 Evesham 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.

Questions from Evesham

Yes. We cover Evesham including WR11, and nearby towns such as Tewkesbury and Stratford-upon-Avon. The survey and written quote are free.
How quickly can you survey in Evesham?

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.
