Double & Leaf-and-a-Half Fire Doors for Dorset buildings
We supply and fit double fire doors across Dorset, including Bournemouth, Poole and Weymouth. Every job starts with a free measure survey and ends with a handover pack listing each certified doorset fitted.
Fire door rules in Dorset
In Dorset, 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 Dorset
Our guide for double fire doors is £1,600–£3,400 per pair fitted, ex VAT. Quotes for Dorset are fixed once we've measured, and include removing and disposing of old doors where they're being replaced.
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.

Questions about double fire doors in Dorset
How quickly can you survey in Dorset?
We arrange surveys around your access needs and, where possible, combine visits with other work in Dorset. Tell us your preferred dates when you enquire.
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.
Which rules apply in Dorset?
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.
