Fire door rules in Shirley
In Shirley, as across England, Approved Document B governs new work and the Fire Safety Order 2005 governs existing premises. Note that Approved Document B is removing the BS 476 fire-resistance test references on 2 September 2029, so specifications are moving to EN classifications such as E30 Sa.
What do FD30 fire doors cost in Shirley?
Our guide for FD30 fire doors is £750–£1,150 per single doorset fitted, ex VAT. Quotes for Shirley are fixed once we've measured, and include removing and disposing of old doors where they're being replaced.
We show each door's price separately, so if budget is tight you can phase the work and start with the doors your fire risk assessment prioritises.

Common questions in West Midlands
How quickly can you survey in Shirley?
We arrange surveys around your access needs and, where possible, combine Shirley visits with other work in West Midlands. Tell us your preferred dates when you enquire.
Which rules do FD30 fire doors in Shirley 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.
Can you work around tenants or staff in Shirley?
Yes. We phase work in occupied buildings and keep escape routes available. Each door is planned to be removed and replaced the same day; if that isn't possible, the opening is made secure and we tell you in advance.
Can I fit an FD30 door into my existing frame?
Only if the manufacturer's evidence allows that frame, which is rare. We normally supply the complete doorset with a new frame so the certification carries through to the finished job.
