Our Hereford supply and fit service
Getting communal fire doors right in Hereford 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.
Surveys in Hereford are booked around your access needs, and we cover the wider Herefordshire area too.
Fire door rules in Hereford
Because Hereford is in England, the starting point is Approved Document B for the specification and the Fire Safety Order 2005 for ongoing duties. Blocks with a storey above 11 metres also fall under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: communal fire doors checked at least every three months, flat front doors at least every year.
Cost of communal fire doors in Herefordshire
Expect roughly £1,600–£3,200 per pair for communal fire doors, fitted, ex VAT. Your Hereford quote is fixed after survey and itemised door by door.
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.
