Stairwell & Escape Route Doors for Christchurch buildings
We fit doors onto protected stairs and escape routes in Christchurch and the rest of Dorset. 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.
We cover BH6 and the surrounding area, including Bournemouth. Tell us your postcode and preferred dates and we'll confirm a survey slot.
Which rules apply in Christchurch?
Fire doors in Christchurch 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.
Stairwell fire doors prices in Christchurch
Budget around £850 to £1,400 per single doorset for stairwell fire doors supplied and fitted in Christchurch, excluding VAT. We price each opening separately so nothing is hidden in a lump sum.
If your fire risk assessment lists specific doors, send it with your enquiry and we'll price exactly those openings.
