Getting FD60 fire doors fitted in Bedford
We fit FD60 doorsets for compartment walls, cores and plant rooms in Bedford and the rest of Bedfordshire. The process is simple: we survey and measure each opening, propose a certified doorset for it, and give you a fixed price. Fitting is booked once the doorsets are made, usually with no door left out of action overnight.
We cover MK40 and the surrounding area, including Ampthill. Tell us your postcode and preferred dates and we'll confirm a survey slot.
Fire door rules in Bedford
Because Bedford 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.
Cost of FD60 fire doors in Bedfordshire
Guide prices for FD60 fire doors in Bedford run from about £1,050 to £1,650 per single doorset, supplied and fitted, ex VAT. Size, glazing, finish and ironmongery move the price, and the survey quote is fixed.
Made-to-measure sizes for older openings, vision panels and upgraded hardware are the usual reasons a door sits towards the top of the range.
