Flat Entrance Fire Doors for Essex buildings
Our Essex service covers flat entrance fire doors for flats, HMOs, workplaces, schools and homes, including Southend-on-Sea, Basildon and Colchester.
Which rules apply in Essex?
New and replacement fire doors in Essex are specified under the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 makes the responsible person keep fire doors in working order, and in residential buildings with a storey above 11 metres regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds quarterly checks of communal doors and annual checks of flat entrance doors.
Guide prices in Essex
Budget around £1,250 to £2,300 per door for flat entrance fire doors supplied and fitted in Essex, excluding VAT. We price each opening separately so nothing is hidden in a lump sum.
Guide prices assume straightforward access; out-of-hours working or difficult access is priced as a separate, visible line.

Common questions in Essex
Is the survey free?
Yes. We measure and schedule your doors at no cost and send a fixed, itemised quote.
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.
Which rules apply in Essex?
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 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.
