School fire doors in Rochester: how we work
Getting school fire doors right in Rochester means choosing a certified doorset for each opening and fitting it exactly as tested. That's the whole service: survey, schedule, certified doorset, careful installation and the paperwork to prove it.
Rochester is about 8 miles from Maidstone. Wherever your building is in ME1, we arrange survey and fitting dates around access and occupancy.
Which rules apply in Rochester?
New and replacement fire doors in Rochester 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 Rochester
Budget around £1,100 to £2,400 per doorset for school fire doors supplied and fitted in Rochester, excluding VAT. We price each opening separately so nothing is hidden in a lump sum.
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.
