Regulations for communal fire doors in Devon

Because Heavitree 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.

What do communal fire doors cost in Heavitree?

Expect roughly £1,600–£3,200 per pair for communal fire doors, fitted, ex VAT. Your Heavitree quote is fixed after survey and itemised door by door.

Each quote covers the certified doorset, standard ironmongery, fitting, removal of the old door and a handover record; anything outside that scope is shown as a separate line before you accept.

Common questions in Devon

Will I get certificates for the doors fitted in Heavitree?

Every doorset is listed in your handover pack with the manufacturer's certificate reference, plus an installation record and photos.

Which rules do communal fire doors in Heavitree need to meet?

They are specified to Approved Document B (England) and your fire risk assessment or fire strategy. We confirm the rating of each door at survey.

Do you work for landlords and managing agents in Heavitree?

Yes. We can schedule doors flat by flat, send quotes per property and invoice the managing agent or freeholder.

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.
