Acoustic Fire Doors for Canterbury buildings
We fit acoustic fire doorsets in Canterbury and the rest of Kent. The process is simple: we survey and measure each opening, propose a certified doorset for it, and give you a fixed price. Fitting is booked once the doorsets are made, usually with no door left out of action overnight.
Canterbury is about 24 miles from Maidstone. Wherever your building is in CT1, we arrange survey and fitting dates around access and occupancy.
Regulations for acoustic fire doors in Kent
In Canterbury, as across England, Approved Document B governs new work and the Fire Safety Order 2005 governs existing premises. Note that Approved Document B is removing the BS 476 fire-resistance test references on 2 September 2029, so specifications are moving to EN classifications such as E30 Sa.
Guide prices in Canterbury
Budget around £1,100 to £2,000 per single doorset for acoustic fire doors supplied and fitted in Canterbury, excluding VAT. We price each opening separately so nothing is hidden in a lump sum.
Guide prices assume straightforward access; out-of-hours working or difficult access is priced as a separate, visible line.
