Stairwell fire doors in Dorset: how we work
Throughout Dorset, including Bournemouth, Poole and Weymouth, we survey, quote and fit doors onto protected stairs and escape routes as complete certified doorsets, with the manufacturer's certificate reference on every quote.
Which rules apply in Dorset?
In Dorset, 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.
What do stairwell fire doors cost in Dorset?
Expect roughly £850–£1,400 per single doorset for stairwell fire doors, fitted, ex VAT. Your Dorset quote is fixed after survey and itemised door by door.
If your fire risk assessment lists specific doors, send it with your enquiry and we'll price exactly those openings.
