Certified double fire doors for Exeter
Looking for double fire doors in Exeter? Our supply and fit service covers EX4 and the surrounding area, including Heavitree and Exmouth. We quote complete doorsets — leaf, frame, seals, hinges and closer — because that is what the fire certification actually covers.
Where possible we combine Exeter surveys with other visits in Devon, such as Heavitree and Exmouth, which helps keep survey dates flexible.
Which rules apply in Exeter?
In Exeter, 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.
Guide prices in Exeter
Our guide for double fire doors is £1,600–£3,400 per pair fitted, ex VAT. Quotes for Exeter are fixed once we've measured, and include removing and disposing of old doors where they're being replaced.
Each quote covers the certified doorset, standard ironmongery, fitting, removal of the old door and a handover record; anything outside that scope is shown as a separate line before you accept.
