School fire doors in Hereford: how we work
We fit fire doors for schools, surgeries and care homes in Hereford and the rest of Herefordshire. The process is simple: we survey and measure each opening, propose a certified doorset for it, and give you a fixed price. Fitting is booked once the doorsets are made, usually with no door left out of action overnight.
Hereford is one of the main towns we cover in Herefordshire; tell us your dates and we'll arrange a survey.
What the law says in Hereford
Fire doors in Hereford 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.
What do school fire doors cost in Hereford?
Our guide price for school fire doors in Hereford is £1,100 to £2,400 per doorset including fitting, ex VAT. Non-standard sizes, veneers, vision panels and access control push towards the top of the range.
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.
