Our West Midlands supply and fit service
We supply and fit communal fire doors across West Midlands, including Birmingham, Coventry and Wolverhampton. Every job starts with a free measure survey and ends with a handover pack listing each certified doorset fitted.
Fire door rules in West Midlands
In West Midlands, 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 West Midlands?
Budget around £1,600 to £3,200 per pair for communal fire doors supplied and fitted in West Midlands, 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.

Your questions answered
Which rules apply in West Midlands?
Doors are specified to Approved Document B (England) and your fire risk assessment or fire strategy. We confirm the rating of each door at survey.
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.
Is the survey free?
Yes. We measure and schedule your doors at no cost and send a fixed, itemised quote.
Can communal fire doors be held open?
Only with an approved hold-open or free-swing device linked to the fire alarm. Wedges and hooks are not acceptable.
