Fire exit doors in Portsmouth

Fire Exit Doors for Portsmouth buildings

Getting fire exit doors right in Portsmouth 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.

Where possible we combine Portsmouth surveys with other visits in Hampshire, such as Gosport and Fareham, which helps keep survey dates flexible.

Regulations for fire exit doors in Hampshire

Because Portsmouth 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 fire exit doors cost in Portsmouth?

Budget around £1,200 to £2,200 per single doorset for fire exit doors supplied and fitted in Portsmouth, excluding VAT. We price each opening separately so nothing is hidden in a lump sum.

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.
