Certified flat entrance fire doors for Harwich
We fit FD30S flat entrance doors for blocks of flats in Harwich and the rest of Essex. The process is simple: we survey and measure each opening, propose a certified doorset for it, and give you a fixed price. Fitting is booked once the doorsets are made, usually with no door left out of action overnight.
We cover CO12 and the surrounding area, including Felixstowe. Tell us your postcode and preferred dates and we'll confirm a survey slot.
Regulations for flat entrance fire doors in Essex
Because Harwich is in England, the starting point is Approved Document B for the specification and the Fire Safety Order 2005 for ongoing duties. Blocks with a storey above 11 metres also fall under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: communal fire doors checked at least every three months, flat front doors at least every year.
Guide prices in Harwich
Budget around £1,250 to £2,300 per door for flat entrance fire doors supplied and fitted in Harwich, 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.

Your questions answered
Can you work around tenants or staff in Harwich?
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.
Which rules do flat entrance fire doors in Harwich need to meet?
They are specified to Approved Document B (England) and your fire risk assessment or fire strategy. We confirm the rating of each door at survey.
How quickly can you survey in Harwich?
We arrange surveys around your access needs and, where possible, combine Harwich visits with other work in Essex. Tell us your preferred dates when you enquire.
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.
