Getting double fire doors fitted in Formby
We fit double and leaf-and-a-half fire doorsets in Formby and the rest of Merseyside. 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.
Formby is about 11 miles from Liverpool; we cover both, along with Maghull, Southport and Bootle.
Which rules apply in Formby?
New and replacement fire doors in Formby are specified under the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 makes the responsible person keep fire doors in working order, and in residential buildings with a storey above 11 metres regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds quarterly checks of communal doors and annual checks of flat entrance doors.
What do double fire doors cost in Formby?
Budget around £1,600 to £3,400 per pair for double fire doors supplied and fitted in Formby, 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.
