Our Rochdale supply and fit service
Getting communal fire doors right in Rochdale means choosing a certified doorset for each opening and fitting it exactly as tested. That's the whole service: survey, schedule, certified doorset, careful installation and the paperwork to prove it.
Rochdale is about 10 miles from Manchester. Wherever your building is in OL16, we arrange survey and fitting dates around access and occupancy.
Which rules apply in Rochdale?
In Rochdale, 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.
What do communal fire doors cost in Rochdale?
Our guide price for communal fire doors in Rochdale 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.
The biggest price drivers are leaf size, glazing, finish and ironmongery; upper floors without lifts and restricted parking can also affect fitting cost.

Your questions answered
Can you fit just one door in Rochdale?
Yes — from a single door to a full building. Where possible, small jobs are scheduled alongside other visits in Greater Manchester.
Do you remove the old doors?
Yes. Removal and disposal of the old door and frame is included when we replace a doorset in Rochdale.
Can you work around tenants or staff in Rochdale?
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.
