Our Cumbria supply and fit service
Throughout Cumbria, including Carlisle, Barrow-in-Furness and Kendal, we survey, quote and fit fire doors for schools, surgeries and care homes as complete certified doorsets, with the manufacturer's certificate reference on every quote.
What the law says in Cumbria
In Cumbria, 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.
What do school fire doors cost in Cumbria?
Budget around £1,100 to £2,400 per doorset for school fire doors supplied and fitted in Cumbria, excluding VAT. We price each opening separately so nothing is hidden in a lump sum.
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.

Will I get certificates for the doors fitted?
Every doorset is listed in your handover pack with the manufacturer's certificate reference, plus an installation record and photos.
What size doors do care settings need?
