Security fire doors in Nelson: how we work
We fit fire and security rated doorsets in Nelson and the rest of Lancashire. 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.
Where possible we combine Nelson surveys with other visits in Lancashire, such as Colne and Burnley, which helps keep survey dates flexible.
Fire door rules in Nelson
Fire doors in Nelson sit under English rules: Approved Document B sets what goes in, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 covers keeping doors effective in non-domestic premises and shared parts of residential buildings, and the 2022 regulations require regular door checks in residential buildings taller than 11 metres. Higher-risk buildings — 18 metres or seven storeys with two or more homes — also come under the Building Safety Act 2022.
Cost of security fire doors in Lancashire
Expect roughly £1,600–£3,500 per single doorset for security fire doors, fitted, ex VAT. Your Nelson quote is fixed after survey and itemised door by door.
We show each door's price separately, so if budget is tight you can phase the work and start with the doors your fire risk assessment prioritises.

Common questions in Lancashire
Will I get certificates for the doors fitted in Nelson?
Every doorset is listed in your handover pack with the manufacturer's certificate reference, plus an installation record and photos.
Can you fit just one door in Nelson?
Yes — from a single door to a full building. Where possible, small jobs are scheduled alongside other visits in Lancashire.
How quickly can you survey in Nelson?
We arrange surveys around your access needs and, where possible, combine Nelson visits with other work in Lancashire. Tell us your preferred dates when you enquire.
Can any fire door be made secure?
Adding security hardware to a fire door without evidence can void its fire rating. Choose a doorset certified for both.
