Certified stairwell fire doors for Cheshire
Across Cheshire we handle stairwell fire doors for single doors and whole-building programmes alike — survey, fixed quote, certified doorsets and careful installation.
Fire door rules in Cheshire
In Cheshire, as across England, Approved Document B governs new work and the Fire Safety Order 2005 governs existing premises. Note that Approved Document B is removing the BS 476 fire-resistance test references on 2 September 2029, so specifications are moving to EN classifications such as E30 Sa.
Guide prices in Cheshire
Expect roughly £850–£1,400 per single doorset for stairwell fire doors, fitted, ex VAT. Your Cheshire 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.

Questions about stairwell fire doors in Cheshire
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.
Can you fit just one door?
Yes — from a single door to a full building.
Do stairwell doors need smoke seals?
Usually yes. Doors onto protected stairs are typically FD30S or FD60S.
