What the law says in Bournemouth
In Bournemouth, 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.
Communal fire doors prices in Bournemouth
Guide prices for communal fire doors in Bournemouth 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.
We show each door's price separately, so if budget is tight you can phase the work and start with the doors your fire risk assessment prioritises.

Common questions in Dorset
Do you remove the old doors?
Yes. Removal and disposal of the old door and frame is included when we replace a doorset in Bournemouth.
Do you cover Bournemouth?
Yes. We survey, supply and fit communal fire doors throughout Bournemouth and the rest of Dorset, including BH2 and nearby Christchurch.
Can you work around tenants or staff in Bournemouth?
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.
