Throughout Herefordshire, including Hereford, we survey, quote and fit communal corridor and lobby fire doors as complete certified doorsets, with the manufacturer's certificate reference on every quote.

Fire doors in Herefordshire 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.
What do communal fire doors cost in Herefordshire?
Our guide price for communal fire doors in Herefordshire 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.
