Guide prices in Tiverton
Budget around £1,600 to £3,400 per pair for double fire doors supplied and fitted in Tiverton, excluding VAT. We price each opening separately so nothing is hidden in a lump sum.
The biggest price drivers are leaf size, glazing, finish and ironmongery; upper floors without lifts and restricted parking can also affect fitting cost.
