Getting acoustic fire doors fitted in Suffolk
Our Suffolk service covers acoustic fire doors for flats, HMOs, workplaces, schools and homes, including Ipswich, Lowestoft and Bury St Edmunds.
Regulations for acoustic fire doors in Suffolk
New and replacement fire doors in Suffolk 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 Suffolk
Budget around £1,100 to £2,000 per single doorset for acoustic fire doors supplied and fitted in Suffolk, excluding VAT. We price each opening separately so nothing is hidden in a lump sum.
We show each door's price separately, so if budget is tight you can phase the work and start with the doors your fire risk assessment prioritises.
