School fire doors in Dover: how we work
We cover Dover and nearby Folkestone for school fire doors, with surveys booked around your building's access and occupancy. Each door is quoted individually, so you can see what every opening costs and why.
Dover is about 36 miles from Maidstone. Wherever your building is in CT17, we arrange survey and fitting dates around access and occupancy.
Which rules apply in Dover?
Because Dover 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.
Cost of school fire doors in Kent
Guide prices for school fire doors in Dover run from about £1,100 to £2,400 per doorset, supplied and fitted, ex VAT. Size, glazing, finish and ironmongery move the price, and the survey quote is fixed.
