FD30 fire doors in Chester: how we work
Looking for FD30 fire doors in Chester? Our supply and fit service covers CH1 and the surrounding area, including Hawarden and Deeside. We quote complete doorsets — leaf, frame, seals, hinges and closer — because that is what the fire certification actually covers.
Chester is about 19 miles from Warrington. Wherever your building is in CH1, we arrange survey and fitting dates around access and occupancy.
Fire door rules in Chester
Because Chester 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.
Guide prices in Chester
Our guide price for FD30 fire doors in Chester is £750 to £1,150 per single doorset including fitting, ex VAT. Non-standard sizes, veneers, vision panels and access control push towards the top of the range.
