What the law says in Somerset
New and replacement fire doors in Somerset are specified under the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 makes the responsible person keep fire doors in working order, and in residential buildings with a storey above 11 metres regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds quarterly checks of communal doors and annual checks of flat entrance doors.
Cost of communal fire doors in Somerset
Guide prices for communal fire doors in Somerset run from about £1,600 to £3,200 per pair, supplied and fitted, ex VAT. Size, glazing, finish and ironmongery move the price, and the survey quote is fixed.

Communal fire doors in Somerset: questions
Is the survey free?
Yes. We measure and schedule your doors at no cost and send a fixed, itemised quote.
Can you work around tenants or staff?
Yes. We phase work in occupied buildings and keep escape routes available. Each door is planned to be removed and replaced the same day; if that isn't possible, the opening is made secure and we tell you in advance.
How quickly can you survey in Somerset?
We arrange surveys around your access needs and, where possible, combine visits with other work in Somerset. Tell us your preferred dates when you enquire.
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.
