Our Dorset service covers FD30S fire doors for flats, HMOs, workplaces, schools and homes, including Bournemouth, Poole and Weymouth.
Regulations for FD30S fire doors in Dorset
Fire doors in Dorset sit under English rules: Approved Document B sets what goes in, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 covers keeping doors effective in non-domestic premises and shared parts of residential buildings, and the 2022 regulations require regular door checks in residential buildings taller than 11 metres. Higher-risk buildings — 18 metres or seven storeys with two or more homes — also come under the Building Safety Act 2022.
Guide prices in Dorset
Our guide for FD30S fire doors is £800–£1,250 per single doorset fitted, ex VAT. Quotes for Dorset are fixed once we've measured, and include removing and disposing of old doors where they're being replaced.
The biggest price drivers are leaf size, glazing, finish and ironmongery; upper floors without lifts and restricted parking can also affect fitting cost.

Your questions answered
Can you work around tenants or staff?
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.
Which rules apply in Dorset?
Doors are specified to Approved Document B (England) and your fire risk assessment or fire strategy. We confirm the rating of each door at survey.
Do you cover the whole of Dorset?
Yes. We survey, supply and fit FD30S fire doors across Dorset, including Bournemouth, Poole and Weymouth.
Which doors in a block of flats need FD30S?
Typically flat entrance doors and doors onto protected stairs and lobbies. The building's fire strategy is the final word.
