Getting school fire doors fitted in Poole
Looking for school fire doors in Poole? Our supply and fit service covers BH15 and the surrounding area, including Bournemouth and Christchurch. We quote complete doorsets — leaf, frame, seals, hinges and closer — because that is what the fire certification actually covers.
Where possible we combine Poole surveys with other visits in Dorset, such as Bournemouth and Christchurch, which helps keep survey dates flexible.
Regulations for school fire doors in Dorset
In Poole, 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 school fire doors in Dorset
Budget around £1,100 to £2,400 per doorset for school fire doors supplied and fitted in Poole, excluding VAT. We price each opening separately so nothing is hidden in a lump sum.
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.

Your questions answered
Do you work for landlords and managing agents in Poole?
Yes. We can schedule doors flat by flat, send quotes per property and invoice the managing agent or freeholder.
Can you work around tenants or staff in Poole?
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.
Which rules do school fire doors in Poole 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 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.
