Communal fire doors in Cornwall: how we work
Our Cornwall service covers communal fire doors for flats, HMOs, workplaces, schools and homes, including Truro, Redruth and Falmouth.
Regulations for communal fire doors in Cornwall
In Cornwall, 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.
What do communal fire doors cost in Cornwall?
Budget around £1,600 to £3,200 per pair for communal fire doors supplied and fitted in Cornwall, 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.
