Double fire doors in Cheshire: how we work
Throughout Cheshire, including Warrington, Chester and Crewe, we survey, quote and fit double and leaf-and-a-half fire doorsets as complete certified doorsets, with the manufacturer's certificate reference on every quote.
What the law says in Cheshire
Because Cheshire is in England, the starting point is Approved Document B for the specification and the Fire Safety Order 2005 for ongoing duties. Blocks with a storey above 11 metres also fall under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: communal fire doors checked at least every three months, flat front doors at least every year.
Double fire doors prices in Cheshire
Our guide price for double fire doors in Cheshire 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.
We show each door's price separately, so if budget is tight you can phase the work and start with the doors your fire risk assessment prioritises.

Common questions in Cheshire
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.
Can you fit just one door?
Yes — from a single door to a full building.
Which rules apply in Cheshire?
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.
What is a leaf-and-a-half door?
A pair with one wide and one narrow leaf, giving normal access through the wide leaf and full width when both open.
