Communal & Corridor Fire Doors for Dorset buildings
Our Dorset service covers communal fire doors for flats, HMOs, workplaces, schools and homes, including Bournemouth, Poole and Weymouth.
Fire door rules in Dorset
In Dorset, 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 Dorset
Our guide price for communal fire doors in Dorset 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.
If your fire risk assessment lists specific doors, send it with your enquiry and we'll price exactly those openings.
