Certified stairwell fire doors for Plymouth
Looking for stairwell fire doors in Plymouth? Our supply and fit service covers PL1 and the surrounding area, including Plymstock and Paignton. We quote complete doorsets — leaf, frame, seals, hinges and closer — because that is what the fire certification actually covers.
We cover Plymouth and the rest of Devon, with surveys arranged around your building's access and occupancy.
What the law says in Plymouth
Because Plymouth 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 stairwell fire doors in Devon
Our guide for stairwell fire doors is £850–£1,400 per single doorset fitted, ex VAT. Quotes for Plymouth are fixed once we've measured, and include removing and disposing of old doors where they're being replaced.
