Our Chelmsford supply and fit service
Fire Rated Doors supplies and fits school fire doors in Chelmsford, Essex. Whether it's a single replacement or every door in a block, we start by surveying the openings and end with a handover pack listing each doorset and its certificate reference.
Chelmsford is about 17 miles from Southend-on-Sea; we cover both, along with Billericay, Witham and Maldon.
What the law says in Chelmsford
In Chelmsford, 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.
Guide prices in Chelmsford
Budget around £1,100 to £2,400 per doorset for school fire doors supplied and fitted in Chelmsford, excluding VAT. We price each opening separately so nothing is hidden in a lump sum.
The biggest price drivers are leaf size, glazing, finish and ironmongery; upper floors without lifts and restricted parking can also affect fitting cost.
