FD60 fire doors in Essex: how we work
Our Essex service covers FD60 fire doors for flats, HMOs, workplaces, schools and homes, including Southend-on-Sea, Basildon and Colchester.
What the law says in Essex
Because Essex 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.
What do FD60 fire doors cost in Essex?
Expect roughly £1,050–£1,650 per single doorset for FD60 fire doors, fitted, ex VAT. Your Essex quote is fixed after survey and itemised door by door.
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.
