Flat entrance fire doors in Rochester: how we work
Looking for flat entrance fire doors in Rochester? Our supply and fit service covers ME1 and the surrounding area, including Chatham and Strood. We quote complete doorsets — leaf, frame, seals, hinges and closer — because that is what the fire certification actually covers.
Where possible we combine Rochester surveys with other visits in Kent, such as Chatham and Strood, which helps keep survey dates flexible.
What the law says in Rochester
In Rochester, 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 Kent
Budget around £1,250 to £2,300 per door for flat entrance fire doors supplied and fitted in Rochester, 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.
