HMO fire doors in Essex: how we work
Throughout Essex, including Southend-on-Sea, Basildon and Colchester, we survey, quote and fit HMO fire doors and self-closers as complete certified doorsets, with the manufacturer's certificate reference on every quote.
Fire door rules in Essex
Because Essex 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 HMO fire doors in Essex
Expect roughly £750–£1,100 per door for HMO fire doors, fitted, ex VAT. Your Essex quote is fixed after survey and itemised door by door.
If your fire risk assessment lists specific doors, send it with your enquiry and we'll price exactly those openings.
