Our Bedford supply and fit service
We cover Bedford and nearby Ampthill for commercial fire doors, with surveys booked around your building's access and occupancy. Each door is quoted individually, so you can see what every opening costs and why.
Bedford is about 18 miles from Luton; we cover both, along with Ampthill, St Neots and Rushden.
Fire door rules in Bedford
In Bedford, 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 Bedford
Budget around £850 to £1,500 per single doorset for commercial fire doors supplied and fitted in Bedford, excluding VAT. We price each opening separately so nothing is hidden in a lump sum.
The biggest price drivers are leaf size, glazing, finish and ironmongery; upper floors without lifts and restricted parking can also affect fitting cost.

Common questions in Bedfordshire
Will I get certificates for the doors fitted in Bedford?
Every doorset is listed in your handover pack with the manufacturer's certificate reference, plus an installation record and photos.
What does a Bedford quote include?
Survey, certified doorset, ironmongery, installation, removal of old doors and a handover pack. VAT is added at the standard rate.
Can you fit just one door in Bedford?
Yes — from a single door to a full building. Where possible, small jobs are scheduled alongside other visits in Bedfordshire.
Can I add access control to my fire doors?
Yes, using hardware covered by the doorset's evidence. Retro-fitting untested components can void certification.
