Which rules apply in Durham?
In Durham, 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.
Guide prices in Durham
Budget around £1,250 to £2,300 per door for flat entrance fire doors supplied and fitted in Durham, excluding VAT. We price each opening separately so nothing is hidden in a lump sum.
The biggest price drivers are leaf size, glazing, finish and ironmongery; upper floors without lifts and restricted parking can also affect fitting cost.

Questions about flat entrance fire doors in Durham
Do you remove the old doors?
Yes. Removal and disposal of the old door and frame is included when we replace a doorset in Durham.
Can you work around tenants or staff in Durham?
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 you fit just one door in Durham?
Yes — from a single door to a full building. Where possible, small jobs are scheduled alongside other visits in County Durham.
Does a flat entrance door need a letterbox?
No. Many blocks avoid letterplates altogether. Where one is wanted, it must be fire-rated and tested in that doorset.
