Communal fire doors in Blackpool: how we work
Need communal fire doors in Blackpool? We supply and fit complete certified doorsets across Lancashire, starting with a free measure survey in and around FY1. Every quote lists each door, its rating and the manufacturer's certificate reference, so you know exactly what is going in before anything is ordered.
Whether your building is in central Blackpool or on its edges towards Thornton-Cleveleys, survey and fitting dates are arranged around your access needs, with occupied buildings worked in planned phases.
Regulations for communal fire doors in Lancashire
In Blackpool, 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 Blackpool?
Budget around £1,600 to £3,200 per pair for communal fire doors supplied and fitted in Blackpool, 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.

Do you remove the old doors?
Yes. Removal and disposal of the old door and frame is included when we replace a doorset in Blackpool.
