Fire exit doors in Hertfordshire: how we work
Our Hertfordshire service covers fire exit doors for flats, HMOs, workplaces, schools and homes, including Watford, Hemel Hempstead and Stevenage.
Which rules apply in Hertfordshire?
Fire doors in Hertfordshire sit under English rules: Approved Document B sets what goes in, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 covers keeping doors effective in non-domestic premises and shared parts of residential buildings, and the 2022 regulations require regular door checks in residential buildings taller than 11 metres. Higher-risk buildings — 18 metres or seven storeys with two or more homes — also come under the Building Safety Act 2022.
Cost of fire exit doors in Hertfordshire
Budget around £1,200 to £2,200 per single doorset for fire exit doors supplied and fitted in Hertfordshire, excluding VAT. We price each opening separately so nothing is hidden in a lump sum.
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.

Questions about fire exit doors in Hertfordshire
Will I get certificates for the doors fitted?
Every doorset is listed in your handover pack with the manufacturer's certificate reference, plus an installation record and photos.
Do you remove the old doors?
Yes. Removal and disposal of the old door and frame is included when we replace a doorset.
Which rules apply in Hertfordshire?
Doors are specified to Approved Document B (England) and your fire risk assessment or fire strategy. We confirm the rating of each door at survey.
Can a fire exit door be locked?
Not in a way that prevents instant exit without a key while the building is occupied. Panic and emergency exit hardware achieves security and escape together.
