Communal fire doors in Hove: how we work
Need communal fire doors in Hove? We supply and fit complete certified doorsets across East Sussex, starting with a free measure survey in and around BN3. Every quote lists each door, its rating and the manufacturer's certificate reference, so you know exactly what is going in before anything is ordered.
Where possible we combine Hove surveys with other visits in East Sussex, such as Brighton and Portslade, which helps keep survey dates flexible.
Fire door rules in Hove
Fire doors in Hove sit under English rules: Approved Document B sets what goes in, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 covers keeping doors effective in non-domestic premises and shared parts of residential buildings, and the 2022 regulations require regular door checks in residential buildings taller than 11 metres. Higher-risk buildings — 18 metres or seven storeys with two or more homes — also come under the Building Safety Act 2022.
Communal fire doors prices in Hove
Guide prices for communal fire doors in Hove 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.
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 East Sussex
Can you work around tenants or staff in Hove?
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.
Can you fit just one door in Hove?
Yes — from a single door to a full building. Where possible, small jobs are scheduled alongside other visits in East Sussex.
Is the survey in Hove free?
Yes. We measure and schedule your doors at no cost and send a fixed, itemised quote.
Can communal fire doors be held open?
Only with an approved hold-open or free-swing device linked to the fire alarm. Wedges and hooks are not acceptable.
