Communal fire doors in Northampton: how we work
For landlords, managing agents, businesses and homeowners in Northampton, we provide communal corridor and lobby fire doors with one fixed quote. A free survey comes first, then a door-by-door schedule, then installation to the manufacturer's instructions and a handover pack for your records.
We cover Northampton and the rest of Northamptonshire, with surveys arranged around your building's access and occupancy.
What the law says in Northampton
Fire doors in Northampton 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.
Cost of communal fire doors in Northamptonshire
Budget around £1,600 to £3,200 per pair for communal fire doors supplied and fitted in Northampton, excluding VAT. We price each opening separately so nothing is hidden in a lump sum.
