Double fire doors in Shrewsbury: how we work
We fit double and leaf-and-a-half fire doorsets in Shrewsbury and the rest of Shropshire. 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.
Our Shropshire coverage includes Shrewsbury and its neighbours Wellington, Telford and Rhosllannerchrugog; tell us your postcode and preferred dates and we'll confirm a survey slot.
Regulations for double fire doors in Shropshire
Because Shrewsbury 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.
Cost of double fire doors in Shropshire
Budget around £1,600 to £3,400 per pair for double fire doors supplied and fitted in Shrewsbury, 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.

Double fire doors in Shrewsbury: questions
Which rules do double fire doors in Shrewsbury 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.
Will I get certificates for the doors fitted in Shrewsbury?
Every doorset is listed in your handover pack with the manufacturer's certificate reference, plus an installation record and photos.
Do you work for landlords and managing agents in Shrewsbury?
Yes. We can schedule doors flat by flat, send quotes per property and invoice the managing agent or freeholder.
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.
