Flat Entrance Fire Doors for Highbury buildings
Getting flat entrance fire doors right in Highbury means choosing a certified doorset for each opening and fitting it exactly as tested. That's the whole service: survey, schedule, certified doorset, careful installation and the paperwork to prove it.
Where possible we combine Highbury surveys with other visits in Greater London, such as Islington and Holloway, which helps keep survey dates flexible.
Which rules apply in Highbury?
Because Highbury 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.
Cost of flat entrance fire doors in Greater London
Guide prices for flat entrance fire doors in Highbury run from about £1,250 to £2,300 per door, supplied and fitted, ex VAT. Size, glazing, finish and ironmongery move the price, and the survey quote is fixed.
Central and inner London work can cost a little more where parking, loading restrictions or out-of-hours access apply; we show any access costs as a separate line.
Each quote covers the certified doorset, standard ironmongery, fitting, removal of the old door and a handover record; anything outside that scope is shown as a separate line before you accept.
