Communal fire doors in Bolton: how we work
We fit communal corridor and lobby fire doors in Bolton and the rest of Greater Manchester. 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.
Bolton is about 11 miles from Manchester. Wherever your building is in BL1, we arrange survey and fitting dates around access and occupancy.
Which rules apply in Bolton?
New and replacement fire doors in Bolton are specified under the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 makes the responsible person keep fire doors in working order, and in residential buildings with a storey above 11 metres regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds quarterly checks of communal doors and annual checks of flat entrance doors.
Cost of communal fire doors in Greater Manchester
Guide prices for communal fire doors in Bolton 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.

Your questions answered
Can you work around tenants or staff in Bolton?
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 Bolton?
Yes — from a single door to a full building. Where possible, small jobs are scheduled alongside other visits in Greater Manchester.
Will I get certificates for the doors fitted in Bolton?
Every doorset is listed in your handover pack with the manufacturer's certificate reference, plus an installation record and photos.
Do you replace doors while the building is occupied?
Yes. We phase work so escape routes are maintained, and plan each door to be removed and replaced the same day. If that isn't possible, the opening is made secure and we tell you in advance.
