Regulations for acoustic fire doors in Greater London

Fire doors in Barnes sit under English rules: Approved Document B sets what goes in, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 covers keeping doors effective in non-domestic premises and shared parts of residential buildings, and the 2022 regulations require regular door checks in residential buildings taller than 11 metres. Higher-risk buildings — 18 metres or seven storeys with two or more homes — also come under the Building Safety Act 2022.

What do acoustic fire doors cost in Barnes?

Our guide for acoustic fire doors is £1,100–£2,000 per single doorset fitted, ex VAT. Quotes for Barnes are fixed once we've measured, and include removing and disposing of old doors where they're being replaced.

Central and inner London work can cost a little more where parking, loading restrictions or out-of-hours access apply; we show any access costs as a separate line.

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 Greater London

Can you work around tenants or staff in Barnes?

Do you cover Barnes?

Yes. We survey, supply and fit acoustic fire doors throughout Barnes and the rest of Greater London, including SW13 and nearby Chiswick.

They can if untested. We only use seals covered by the doorset's fire evidence.
