Our Portslade supply and fit service
If your fire risk assessment in Portslade has flagged doors to replace, we can schedule, quote and fit FD30S flat entrance doors for blocks of flats to match its recommendations. Surveys in BN41 are free and quotes are fixed and itemised.
Where possible we combine Portslade surveys with other visits in East Sussex, such as Hove and Brighton, which helps keep survey dates flexible.
Regulations for flat entrance fire doors in East Sussex
In Portslade, 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.
Cost of flat entrance fire doors in East Sussex
Expect roughly £1,250–£2,300 per door for flat entrance fire doors, fitted, ex VAT. Your Portslade quote is fixed after survey and itemised door by door.
We show each door's price separately, so if budget is tight you can phase the work and start with the doors your fire risk assessment prioritises.
