Which rules apply in Colchester?
In Colchester, 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.

Our guide for fire door installation is £750–£1,150 per FD30 doorset fitted, ex VAT. Quotes for Colchester are fixed once we've measured, and include removing and disposing of old doors where they're being replaced.
