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.
Guide prices in Preston

Your questions answered
What does a Preston quote include?
Survey, certified doorset, ironmongery, installation, removal of old doors and a handover pack. VAT is added at the standard rate.
Which rules do communal fire doors in Preston 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.
How quickly can you survey in Preston?
We arrange surveys around your access needs and, where possible, combine Preston visits with other work in Lancashire. Tell us your preferred dates when you enquire.
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.
