School fire doors in Sudbury: how we work
Getting school fire doors right in Sudbury 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.
Whether your building is in central Sudbury or on its edges towards Colchester, survey and fitting dates are arranged around your access needs, with occupied buildings worked in planned phases.
Regulations for school fire doors in Suffolk
Because Sudbury 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 Suffolk
Our guide price for school fire doors in Sudbury 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.
If your fire risk assessment lists specific doors, send it with your enquiry and we'll price exactly those openings.

Questions about school fire doors in Sudbury
Do you remove the old doors?
Yes. Removal and disposal of the old door and frame is included when we replace a doorset in Sudbury.
Which rules do school fire doors in Sudbury need to meet?
They 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 in Sudbury?
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.

Doors across corridors normally do, for safeguarding and accessibility.
