Our Leicestershire supply and fit service
We supply and fit school fire doors across Leicestershire, including Leicester, Loughborough and Hinckley. Every job starts with a free measure survey and ends with a handover pack listing each certified doorset fitted.
Fire door rules in Leicestershire
New and replacement fire doors in Leicestershire 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 Leicestershire
Budget around £1,100 to £2,400 per doorset for school fire doors supplied and fitted in Leicestershire, excluding VAT. We price each opening separately so nothing is hidden in a lump sum.
Guide prices assume straightforward access; out-of-hours working or difficult access is priced as a separate, visible line.
Where school fire doors are needed

Common questions in Leicestershire
Which rules apply in Leicestershire?
Doors are specified to Approved Document B (England) and your fire risk assessment or fire strategy. We confirm the rating of each door at survey.
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.
Do you remove the old doors?
Yes. Removal and disposal of the old door and frame is included when we replace a doorset.
Do these doors need vision panels?
Doors across corridors normally do, for safeguarding and accessibility.
