Getting acoustic fire doors fitted in Cheshire
Our Cheshire service covers acoustic fire doors for flats, HMOs, workplaces, schools and homes, including Warrington, Chester and Crewe.
Fire door rules in Cheshire
New and replacement fire doors in Cheshire 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 Cheshire
Our guide for acoustic fire doors is £1,100–£2,000 per single doorset fitted, ex VAT. Quotes for Cheshire are fixed once we've measured, and include removing and disposing of old doors where they're being replaced.
Made-to-measure sizes for older openings, vision panels and upgraded hardware are the usual reasons a door sits towards the top of the range.

Common questions in Cheshire
Which rules apply in Cheshire?
Doors are specified to Approved Document B (England) and your fire risk assessment or fire strategy. We confirm the rating of each door at survey.
How quickly can you survey in Cheshire?
We arrange surveys around your access needs and, where possible, combine visits with other work in Cheshire. Tell us your preferred dates when you enquire.
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.
Are acoustic fire doors heavier?
Yes, usually, so they may need stronger closers and hinges.
