Our Workington supply and fit service
Getting school fire doors right in Workington 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 Workington surveys with other visits in Cumbria, such as Whitehaven and Dumfries, which helps keep survey dates flexible.
What the law says in Workington
New and replacement fire doors in Workington are specified under the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 makes the responsible person keep fire doors in working order, and in residential buildings with a storey above 11 metres regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds quarterly checks of communal doors and annual checks of flat entrance doors.
School fire doors prices in Workington
Guide prices for school fire doors in Workington 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.
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.

Questions about school fire doors in Workington
Can you fit just one door in Workington?
Yes — from a single door to a full building. Where possible, small jobs are scheduled alongside other visits in Cumbria.
Can you work around tenants or staff in Workington?
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.
How quickly can you survey in Workington?
We arrange surveys around your access needs and, where possible, combine Workington visits with other work in Cumbria. Tell us your preferred dates when you enquire.
Can we stop staff wedging fire doors open?
Alarm-linked hold-open devices or free-swing closers remove the need to wedge doors and close them automatically in a fire.
