Our Merseyside supply and fit service
Across Merseyside we handle communal fire doors for single doors and whole-building programmes alike — survey, fixed quote, certified doorsets and careful installation.
Regulations for communal fire doors in Merseyside
In Merseyside, 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.
Communal fire doors prices in Merseyside
Budget around £1,600 to £3,200 per pair for communal fire doors supplied and fitted in Merseyside, excluding VAT. We price each opening separately so nothing is hidden in a lump sum.
The biggest price drivers are leaf size, glazing, finish and ironmongery; upper floors without lifts and restricted parking can also affect fitting cost.
Where communal fire doors are used in Merseyside
Liverpool's large stock of city-centre apartments and student blocks is matched by Victorian conversions across Wirral, Sefton and St Helens.

Common questions in Merseyside
Is the survey free?
Yes. We measure and schedule your doors at no cost and send a fixed, itemised quote.
Do you remove the old doors?
Yes. Removal and disposal of the old door and frame is included when we replace a doorset.
Can you fit just one door?
Yes — from a single door to a full building.
How often should communal fire doors be checked?
In England, regulation 10 requires at least three-monthly checks in residential buildings with a storey above 11 metres. Good practice is regular checks in all buildings.
