Communal fire doors in Berkshire: how we work
Throughout Berkshire, including Reading, Slough and Bracknell, we survey, quote and fit communal corridor and lobby fire doors as complete certified doorsets, with the manufacturer's certificate reference on every quote.
Which rules apply in Berkshire?
New and replacement fire doors in Berkshire 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 communal fire doors in Berkshire
Guide prices for communal fire doors in Berkshire run from about £1,600 to £3,200 per pair, supplied and fitted, ex VAT. Size, glazing, finish and ironmongery move the price, and the survey quote is fixed.
The biggest price drivers are leaf size, glazing, finish and ironmongery; upper floors without lifts and restricted parking can also affect fitting cost.
