Getting communal fire doors fitted in Oxford
Getting communal fire doors right in Oxford means choosing a certified doorset for each opening and fitting it exactly as tested. That's the whole service: survey, schedule, certified doorset, careful installation and the paperwork to prove it.
Surveys in Oxford are booked around your access needs, and we cover the wider Oxfordshire area too.
Which rules apply in Oxford?
Because Oxford is in England, the starting point is Approved Document B for the specification and the Fire Safety Order 2005 for ongoing duties. 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.
What do communal fire doors cost in Oxford?
Our guide price for communal fire doors in Oxford is £1,600 to £3,200 per pair including fitting, ex VAT. Non-standard sizes, veneers, vision panels and access control push towards the top of the range.
The biggest price drivers are leaf size, glazing, finish and ironmongery; upper floors without lifts and restricted parking can also affect fitting cost.

Your questions answered

Yes — from a single door to a full building. Where possible, small jobs are scheduled alongside other visits in Oxfordshire.
Do you remove the old doors?
Yes. Removal and disposal of the old door and frame is included when we replace a doorset in Oxford.
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.
