Double fire doors in March: how we work
We fit double and leaf-and-a-half fire doorsets in March and the rest of Cambridgeshire. The process is simple: we survey and measure each opening, propose a certified doorset for it, and give you a fixed price. Fitting is booked once the doorsets are made, usually with no door left out of action overnight.
March is about 14 miles from Peterborough; we cover both, along with Wisbech, Ely and Peterborough.
What the law says in March
New and replacement fire doors in March 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.
What do double fire doors cost in March?
Our guide price for double fire doors in March 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.
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.

Your questions answered
Which rules do double fire doors in March need to meet?
They are specified to Approved Document B (England) and your fire risk assessment or fire strategy. We confirm the rating of each door at survey.
Do you work for landlords and managing agents in March?
Yes. We can schedule doors flat by flat, send quotes per property and invoice the managing agent or freeholder.
Do you remove the old doors?

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.
