School fire doors in Kent: how we work
Our Kent service covers school fire doors for flats, HMOs, workplaces, schools and homes, including Maidstone, Gillingham and Chatham.
Which rules apply in Kent?
New and replacement fire doors in Kent are specified under the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 makes the responsible person keep fire doors in working order, and in residential buildings with a storey above 11 metres regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds quarterly checks of communal doors and annual checks of flat entrance doors.
Guide prices in Kent
Our guide price for school fire doors in Kent 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.

Questions about school fire doors in Kent
How quickly can you survey in Kent?
We arrange surveys around your access needs and, where possible, combine visits with other work in Kent. Tell us your preferred dates when you enquire.
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.
What size doors do care settings need?
Corridor doors often need leaf-and-a-half or wide single doorsets for beds and wheelchairs. We measure and propose clear widths that suit.
