Fire Doors
Certified Protection for Life Safety and Compliance
Fire doors are purpose-built doorsets engineered to prevent the spread of fire and smoke between compartments for a defined period, commonly 30 or 60 minutes. In large commercial and industrial buildings, fire doors are a legal and safety-critical requirement, protecting escape routes, structural integrity and life safety during a fire.
SBS Limited provides a complete fire door service for complex, high-risk environments. We supply, install and inspect certified doorsets for hospitals, data centres, transport hubs, education facilities, commercial towers and multi-residential developments, ensuring full compliance with UK fire safety regulations and project-specific fire strategies.
The fire doors we install are manufactured and tested to BS 476-22 or EN 1634-1 standards, also third-party certified under schemes such as BM TRADA Q-Mark, Certifire and IFC Certification. These doors are engineered to provide integrity and where required, insulation for the duration of their fire rating.
From glazed FD30 doors in healthcare corridors to solid-core FD60 doors in plant rooms and service risers, each doorset is specified for its environment and rated for performance. We work with a wide range of doorset types, ironmongery and access control systems, tailoring every installation to the needs of the project.
Professional Fire Door Installation and Replacement
Correct installation is as important as the fire door itself. Our trained fire door installers work to certified methods and follow strict QA procedures to ensure that every frame, leaf, hinge and closer performs exactly as required. We assess and adjust on-site for frame condition, tolerances, clearances and sealing systems.
We regularly install new fire doors as part of wider construction projects and also manage large-scale fire door replacement programmes in response to regulatory updates or fire risk assessments. This includes removal and reinstatement of frames, fire stopping around reveals and post-install documentation to support handover.
Fire Door Inspections and Remediation Support
SBS also offers professional fire door inspection services in line with current best practices and regulatory guidance. We assess existing installations for compliance, integrity, hardware condition and operational performance.
Where non-compliance is identified, we provide a clear plan for remedial works or full replacement. Our service is often used by NHS Trusts, education providers, housing associations and commercial landlords looking to align their estates with the latest fire safety obligations.
Documentation, Traceability and the Golden Thread
All SBS fire door works are tracked through a digital QA system. Every doorset is photographed, labelled and logged with location references, fire ratings, manufacturer batch numbers and installation records.
This approach supports full traceability under the Building Safety Act and aligns with the golden thread of building information. It also provides peace of mind to dutyholders, responsible persons and building control authorities during audits or future risk reviews.
