Fire door rules in Exeter

In Exeter, 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.

Fire exit doors prices in Exeter

Expect roughly £1,200–£2,200 per single doorset for fire exit doors, fitted, ex VAT. Your Exeter quote is fixed after survey and itemised door by door.

The biggest price drivers are leaf size, glazing, finish and ironmongery; upper floors without lifts and restricted parking can also affect fitting cost.
