Getting security fire doors fitted in Shirley
We cover Shirley and nearby Solihull for security fire doors, with surveys booked around your building's access and occupancy. Each door is quoted individually, so you can see what every opening costs and why.
Where possible we combine Shirley surveys with other visits in West Midlands, such as Solihull and Acocks Green, which helps keep survey dates flexible.
What the law says in Shirley
Because Shirley 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.
Guide prices in Shirley
Budget around £1,600 to £3,500 per single doorset for security fire doors supplied and fitted in Shirley, excluding VAT. We price each opening separately so nothing is hidden in a lump sum.
Made-to-measure sizes for older openings, vision panels and upgraded hardware are the usual reasons a door sits towards the top of the range.
