Steel fire doors for Great Malvern buildings
We provide steel fire doors in Great Malvern (WR14 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Around Great Malvern, schools, light industrial buildings and small blocks of flats all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
Plant rooms, bin stores and warehouses in and around Great Malvern often call for steel doorsets that can take knocks and damp. For steel fire doors in Great Malvern 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:
- Single and double steel doorsets
- Factory-prepared hinges and hardware
- Locks, closers and panic hardware as specified
- Frame anchoring and gap sealing to instructions
Rules and responsibilities in Great Malvern
The rules that apply to fire doors in Great Malvern 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 Great Malvern 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.
