Regulations for double fire doors in Bedfordshire
In Leighton Buzzard, 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.
Cost of double fire doors in Bedfordshire
Our guide price for double fire doors in Leighton Buzzard is £1,600 to £3,400 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
Do you remove the old doors?
Yes. Removal and disposal of the old door and frame is included when we replace a doorset in Leighton Buzzard.
Can you fit just one door in Leighton Buzzard?
Yes — from a single door to a full building. Where possible, small jobs are scheduled alongside other visits in Bedfordshire.
Can you work around tenants or staff in Leighton Buzzard?
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.
Why does my double fire door not close properly?
Usually the door selector is missing or out of adjustment, or the leaves have dropped. Pairs need the inactive leaf to close first.
