School fire doors in Sheffield: how we work
We fit fire doors for schools, surgeries and care homes in Sheffield and the rest of South Yorkshire. 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.
Surveys in Sheffield are booked around your access needs, and we cover the wider South Yorkshire area too.
What the law says in Sheffield
New and replacement fire doors in Sheffield 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.
What do school fire doors cost in Sheffield?
Our guide price for school fire doors in Sheffield 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.
The biggest price drivers are leaf size, glazing, finish and ironmongery; upper floors without lifts and restricted parking can also affect fitting cost.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Sheffield?
Yes. We survey, supply and fit school fire doors throughout Sheffield and the rest of South Yorkshire, including S1 and nearby Burngreave.
Do you remove the old doors?
Yes. Removal and disposal of the old door and frame is included when we replace a doorset in Sheffield.
Can you work around tenants or staff in Sheffield?
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.
Can we stop staff wedging fire doors open?
Alarm-linked hold-open devices or free-swing closers remove the need to wedge doors and close them automatically in a fire.
