School & Healthcare Fire Doors for Falmouth buildings
Need school fire doors in Falmouth? We supply and fit complete certified doorsets across Cornwall, starting with a free measure survey in and around TR11. Every quote lists each door, its rating and the manufacturer's certificate reference, so you know exactly what is going in before anything is ordered.
Falmouth is about 7 miles from Truro. Wherever your building is in TR11, we arrange survey and fitting dates around access and occupancy.
Which rules apply in Falmouth?
Fire doors in Falmouth sit under English rules: Approved Document B sets what goes in, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 covers keeping doors effective in non-domestic premises and shared parts of residential buildings, and the 2022 regulations require regular door checks in residential buildings taller than 11 metres. Higher-risk buildings — 18 metres or seven storeys with two or more homes — also come under the Building Safety Act 2022.
Cost of school fire doors in Cornwall
Guide prices for school fire doors in Falmouth run from about £1,100 to £2,400 per doorset, supplied and fitted, ex VAT. Size, glazing, finish and ironmongery move the price, and the survey quote is fixed.
Made-to-measure sizes for older openings, vision panels and upgraded hardware are the usual reasons a door sits towards the top of the range.

School fire doors in Falmouth: questions
Can you fit just one door in Falmouth?
Yes — from a single door to a full building. Where possible, small jobs are scheduled alongside other visits in Cornwall.
Which rules do school fire doors in Falmouth 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.
Can you work around tenants or staff in Falmouth?
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.
Can work happen during term time?
Yes, with phased fitting outside teaching hours, or during holidays for larger programmes.
