Communal & Corridor Fire Doors for Durham buildings
For landlords, managing agents, businesses and homeowners in Durham, we provide communal corridor and lobby fire doors with one fixed quote. A free survey comes first, then a door-by-door schedule, then installation to the manufacturer's instructions and a handover pack for your records.
Durham is about 17 miles from Darlington. Wherever your building is in DH1, we arrange survey and fitting dates around access and occupancy.
Regulations for communal fire doors in County Durham
Because Durham is in England, the starting point is Approved Document B for the specification and the Fire Safety Order 2005 for ongoing duties. Blocks with a storey above 11 metres also fall under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: communal fire doors checked at least every three months, flat front doors at least every year.
Cost of communal fire doors in County Durham
Our guide price for communal fire doors in Durham is £1,600 to £3,200 per pair including fitting, ex VAT. Non-standard sizes, veneers, vision panels and access control push towards the top of the range.

Your questions answered
What does a Durham quote include?
Survey, certified doorset, ironmongery, installation, removal of old doors and a handover pack. VAT is added at the standard rate.
How quickly can you survey in Durham?
We arrange surveys around your access needs and, where possible, combine Durham visits with other work in County Durham. Tell us your preferred dates when you enquire.
Can you work around tenants or staff in Durham?
Yes. We phase work in occupied buildings and keep escape routes available. Each door is planned to be removed and replaced the same day; if that isn't possible, the opening is made secure and we tell you in advance.
Should communal doors be glazed?
Doors across corridors usually need vision panels so people can see who is on the other side. The glass must be tested in that doorset.
