Double fire doors in Margate: how we work
We fit double and leaf-and-a-half fire doorsets in Margate and the rest of Kent. 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.
Whether your building is in central Margate or on its edges towards Broadstairs, survey and fitting dates are arranged around your access needs, with occupied buildings worked in planned phases.
Regulations for double fire doors in Kent
Because Margate 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 Margate
Guide prices for double fire doors in Margate run from about £1,600 to £3,400 per pair, supplied and fitted, ex VAT. Size, glazing, finish and ironmongery move the price, and the survey quote is fixed.

Your questions answered
Which rules do double fire doors in Margate 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 Margate?
Yes. We can schedule doors flat by flat, send quotes per property and invoice the managing agent or freeholder.
Do you cover Margate?
Yes. We survey, supply and fit double fire doors throughout Margate and the rest of Kent, including CT9 and nearby Broadstairs.
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.
