What is a fire rated door?
A fire rated door is a doorset tested to hold back fire — and, with an S rating, cold smoke — for a set time, such as 30 minutes for FD30. The rating belongs to the complete doorset: leaf, frame, seals, hinges, closer and locking, fitted as tested.
Do you sell fire doors or fit them?
We supply and fit. Certification for most fire doorsets depends on correct installation, so we survey, supply the certified doorset and install it, with a handover pack at the end.
How much does a fire door cost?
A single FD30 doorset typically costs £750 to £1,150 supplied and fitted, ex VAT. FD60, glazed, steel and security doorsets cost more. Your survey quote is fixed and itemised.
Where do you work?
England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Each nation has its own building and fire safety rules, and we specify to the rules where your building is.
Are your doors certified?
Every doorset we quote carries third-party certification from its manufacturer, and the certificate reference is on your quote. Certification belongs to the manufacturer's tested doorset, not to us.
Is the survey free?
Yes. We measure each opening and send a door-by-door quote at no cost.
Can you replace doors that failed a fire door inspection?
Yes. Send us the inspection report or fire risk assessment and we'll quote the replacements it calls for.
How long does fitting take?
Most single doorsets take a few hours to fit once they're made. Lead times for doorsets depend on type and size, and we confirm the programme on your quote.
Do you inspect fire doors?
This site covers supplying and fitting doorsets. For inspections and surveys, see our sister site firedoor-inspections.uk.
Can I buy a fire door without fitting?
We focus on supply and fit, because most doorset certification depends on correct installation. If you have a contractor-led project, talk to us about the best arrangement.
Can you fit fire doors in a listed building?
Often, yes, using certified doorsets in sizes and finishes that suit the building. Listed building consent may be needed — check with your conservation officer first.
What paperwork do I get?
A handover pack listing each door by location, its rating, the manufacturer's certificate reference, an installation record with photos and maintenance notes.
Do fire doors need regular checks after fitting?
Yes. Fire doors should be checked regularly as part of your fire risk assessment. In England, regulation 10 sets minimum check frequencies for residential buildings above 11 metres.
Do you offer a guarantee?
Guarantee terms depend on the doorset manufacturer and are set out in your written quote, so you know exactly what is covered before you order.
How do I pay?
Payment terms are set out in your written quote. We don't take payment before you've accepted a fixed quote.
Can you work out of hours?
Yes, for occupied commercial buildings and where access requires it. Any extra cost is shown separately on the quote.
