Our Harwich supply and fit service
Getting fire door closers and ironmongery right in Harwich means choosing a certified doorset for each opening and fitting it exactly as tested. That's the whole service: survey, schedule, certified doorset, careful installation and the paperwork to prove it.
Harwich is about 37 miles from Southend-on-Sea; we cover both, along with Felixstowe, Ipswich and Clacton-on-Sea.
What the law says in Harwich
Because Harwich 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 Harwich
Guide prices for fire door closers and ironmongery in Harwich run from about £120 to £500 per item, supplied and fitted, ex VAT. Size, glazing, finish and ironmongery move the price, and the survey quote is fixed.
