Acoustic fire doors in Bedfordshire: how we work
Our Bedfordshire service covers acoustic fire doors for flats, HMOs, workplaces, schools and homes, including Luton, Bedford and Dunstable.
Which rules apply in Bedfordshire?
New and replacement fire doors in Bedfordshire are specified under the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 makes the responsible person keep fire doors in working order, and in residential buildings with a storey above 11 metres regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds quarterly checks of communal doors and annual checks of flat entrance doors.
Cost of acoustic fire doors in Bedfordshire
Our guide for acoustic fire doors is £1,100–£2,000 per single doorset fitted, ex VAT. Quotes for Bedfordshire are fixed once we've measured, and include removing and disposing of old doors where they're being replaced.
If your fire risk assessment lists specific doors, send it with your enquiry and we'll price exactly those openings.

Your questions answered
Can you work around tenants or staff?
Yes. We phase work in occupied buildings and keep escape routes available. Each door is planned to be removed and replaced the same day; if that isn't possible, the opening is made secure and we tell you in advance.
How quickly can you survey in Bedfordshire?
We arrange surveys around your access needs and, where possible, combine visits with other work in Bedfordshire. Tell us your preferred dates when you enquire.
Will I get certificates for the doors fitted?
Every doorset is listed in your handover pack with the manufacturer's certificate reference, plus an installation record and photos.
Are acoustic fire doors heavier?
Yes, usually, so they may need stronger closers and hinges.
