Fire door rules in Reading
In Reading, 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.
Flat entrance fire doors prices in Reading
Our guide for flat entrance fire doors is £1,250–£2,300 per door fitted, ex VAT. Quotes for Reading are fixed once we've measured, and include removing and disposing of old doors where they're being replaced.
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.

Common questions in Berkshire
Will I get certificates for the doors fitted in Reading?
Every doorset is listed in your handover pack with the manufacturer's certificate reference, plus an installation record and photos.
Can you fit just one door in Reading?
Yes — from a single door to a full building. Where possible, small jobs are scheduled alongside other visits in Berkshire.
Can you work around tenants or staff in Reading?
Yes. We phase work in occupied buildings and keep escape routes available. Each door is planned to be removed and replaced the same day; if that isn't possible, the opening is made secure and we tell you in advance.
Can I fit my own new front door to my flat?
Only with a doorset that meets the building's fire and smoke requirements, and usually with the freeholder's consent. A non-compliant replacement can put the whole building at risk.
