Regulations for school fire doors in Gloucestershire
Because Tewkesbury is in England, the starting point is Approved Document B for the specification and the Fire Safety Order 2005 for ongoing duties. Blocks with a storey above 11 metres also fall under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: communal fire doors checked at least every three months, flat front doors at least every year.
What do school fire doors cost in Tewkesbury?
Budget around £1,100 to £2,400 per doorset for school fire doors supplied and fitted in Tewkesbury, 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.
