Communal fire doors in Gosport

Communal & Corridor Fire Doors for Gosport buildings

We fit communal corridor and lobby fire doors in Gosport and the rest of Hampshire. 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.

Gosport is about 14 miles from Southampton; we cover both, along with Portsmouth, Fareham and Ryde.

What the law says in Gosport

New and replacement fire doors in Gosport 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 Hampshire

Budget around £1,600 to £3,200 per pair for communal fire doors supplied and fitted in Gosport, excluding VAT. We price each opening separately so nothing is hidden in a lump sum.

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 Hampshire

Do you work for landlords and managing agents in Gosport?

Yes. We can schedule doors flat by flat, send quotes per property and invoice the managing agent or freeholder.

Which rules do communal fire doors in Gosport need to meet?

They are specified to Approved Document B (England) and your fire risk assessment or fire strategy. We confirm the rating of each door at survey.

Do you remove the old doors?

Yes. Removal and disposal of the old door and frame is included when we replace a doorset in Gosport.

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.
