Composite fire doors in Harwich: how we work
We cover Harwich and nearby Felixstowe for composite fire doors, with surveys booked around your building's access and occupancy. Each door is quoted individually, so you can see what every opening costs and why.
Where possible we combine Harwich surveys with other visits in Essex, such as Felixstowe and Ipswich, which helps keep survey dates flexible.
What the law says in Harwich
New and replacement fire doors in Harwich 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.
Composite fire doors prices in Harwich
Budget around £1,200 to £2,200 per door for composite fire doors supplied and fitted in Harwich, excluding VAT. We price each opening separately so nothing is hidden in a lump sum.
Made-to-measure sizes for older openings, vision panels and upgraded hardware are the usual reasons a door sits towards the top of the range.
