In Stockport
Stockport fire door installs, end to end.
There's a real mix of property types in Stockport — flats above shops, HMOs, schools, the odd care home — and the fire door rules don't bend just because a building's awkward. We've worked through most of it.
Why Stockport
What's specific about fire door work in Stockport.
Every area has its own quirks — building age, tenure mix, the kind of assessor activity going on locally. Here's what shapes the work in Stockport.
Mill and warehouse conversions
Plenty of converted industrial buildings around Stockport — exposed brick, big openings, awkward compartmentation lines. Fire door specs need to match the original design intent or the assessor will flag it.
Older terrace HMOs
Small landlord HMOs in Stockport terraces are the bread-and-butter of remediation work — bedroom doors brought up to FD30S, stair sets sorted, signage added.
Salt-air corrosion on hardware
Coastal stock around Stockport eats hinges and closers faster than inland sites. We spec marine-grade or stainless ironmongery where it makes sense, so the door still self-closes after a couple of winters.
Holiday lets and short-term rentals
Lots of converted seafront properties around Stockport are short-let now, which brings them under the same fire safety regs as a small HMO. Surveyors are checking flat-entrance doors much more carefully than they used to.

- Threshold detail and any cold smoke seal at the bottom
- Latch and lock case fire-rated and CE/UKCA marked
- Overall fit — does it actually self-close and latch from 30°?
- Frame condition, fixings and packing material
- Intumescent and smoke seal type, position and continuity
