Certified stairwell fire doors for London
Looking for stairwell fire doors in London? Our supply and fit service covers WC2N and the surrounding area, including Westminster and Pimlico. We quote complete doorsets — leaf, frame, seals, hinges and closer — because that is what the fire certification actually covers.
Surveys in London are booked around your access needs, and we cover the wider Greater London area too.
Fire door rules in London
Fire doors in London 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.
Guide prices in London
Budget around £850 to £1,400 per single doorset for stairwell fire doors supplied and fitted in London, excluding VAT. We price each opening separately so nothing is hidden in a lump sum.
Central and inner London work can cost a little more where parking, loading restrictions or out-of-hours access apply; we show any access costs as a separate line.
If your fire risk assessment lists specific doors, send it with your enquiry and we'll price exactly those openings.
Where stairwell fire doors are used in London
Basement and plant stairs and escape corridors are among the most common settings for stairwell fire doors, in London as elsewhere.
London has the UK's largest concentration of purpose-built flats and high-rise residential blocks, so flat entrance doors, communal corridor doors and regulation 10 checks drive much of the demand.
