School fire doors in East Sussex: how we work
Across East Sussex we handle school fire doors for single doors and whole-building programmes alike — survey, fixed quote, certified doorsets and careful installation.
Which rules apply in East Sussex?
Fire doors in East Sussex 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.

Budget around £1,100 to £2,400 per doorset for school fire doors supplied and fitted in East Sussex, excluding VAT. We price each opening separately so nothing is hidden in a lump sum.

Questions about school fire doors in East Sussex
Which rules apply in East Sussex?
Doors 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 fit just one door?
Yes — from a single door to a full building.
Can you work around tenants or staff?
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 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.
