Communal & Corridor Fire Doors for Bicester buildings
We fit communal corridor and lobby fire doors in Bicester and the rest of Oxfordshire. The process is simple: we survey and measure each opening, propose a certified doorset for it, and give you a fixed price. Fitting is booked once the doorsets are made, usually with no door left out of action overnight.
Where possible we combine Bicester surveys with other visits in Oxfordshire, such as Oxford and Banbury, which helps keep survey dates flexible.
What the law says in Bicester
In Bicester, 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 Bicester?
Budget around £1,600 to £3,200 per pair for communal fire doors supplied and fitted in Bicester, 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.
