Getting FD30S fire doors fitted in Exeter
Looking for FD30S fire doors in Exeter? Our supply and fit service covers EX4 and the surrounding area, including Heavitree and Exmouth. We quote complete doorsets — leaf, frame, seals, hinges and closer — because that is what the fire certification actually covers.
Exeter is about 37 miles from Plymouth; we cover both, along with Heavitree, Exmouth and Tiverton.
Regulations for FD30S fire doors in Devon
Because Exeter 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 Exeter
Our guide price for FD30S fire doors in Exeter is £800 to £1,250 per single doorset including fitting, ex VAT. Non-standard sizes, veneers, vision panels and access control push towards the top of the range.
The biggest price drivers are leaf size, glazing, finish and ironmongery; upper floors without lifts and restricted parking can also affect fitting cost.
