Getting stairwell fire doors fitted in Eastbourne
We cover Eastbourne and nearby Hailsham for stairwell 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 Eastbourne surveys with other visits in East Sussex, such as Hailsham and Seaford, which helps keep survey dates flexible.
What the law says in Eastbourne
New and replacement fire doors in Eastbourne are specified under the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 makes the responsible person keep fire doors in working order, and in residential buildings with a storey above 11 metres regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds quarterly checks of communal doors and annual checks of flat entrance doors.

Expect roughly £850–£1,400 per single doorset for stairwell fire doors, fitted, ex VAT. Your Eastbourne quote is fixed after survey and itemised door by door.
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.
