Fire door closers and ironmongery in Gravesend: how we work
We fit fire door closers, hinges and hold-open devices in Gravesend and the rest of Kent. 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 DA11 and the surrounding area, including Grays. Tell us your postcode and preferred dates and we'll confirm a survey slot.
Regulations for fire door closers and ironmongery in Kent
In Gravesend, 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.
What do fire door closers and ironmongery cost in Gravesend?
Expect roughly £120–£500 per item for fire door closers and ironmongery, fitted, ex VAT. Your Gravesend quote is fixed after survey and itemised door by door.
Each quote covers the certified doorset, standard ironmongery, fitting, removal of the old door and a handover record; anything outside that scope is shown as a separate line before you accept.
