Communal & Corridor Fire Doors for Witham buildings
We fit communal corridor and lobby fire doors in Witham and the rest of Essex. The process is simple: we survey and measure each opening, propose a certified doorset for it, and give you a fixed price. Fitting is booked once the doorsets are made, usually with no door left out of action overnight.
Witham is about 19 miles from Southend-on-Sea; we cover both, along with Maldon, Braintree and Chelmsford.
What the law says in Witham
New and replacement fire doors in Witham are specified under the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B.

Cost of communal fire doors in Essex
Budget around £1,600 to £3,200 per pair for communal fire doors supplied and fitted in Witham, excluding VAT. We price each opening separately so nothing is hidden in a lump sum.
Made-to-measure sizes for older openings, vision panels and upgraded hardware are the usual reasons a door sits towards the top of the range.
