What the law says in Suffolk
Fire doors in Suffolk 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 Suffolk
Guide prices for stairwell fire doors in Suffolk run from about £850 to £1,400 per single doorset, supplied and fitted, ex VAT. Size, glazing, finish and ironmongery move the price, and the survey quote is fixed.
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.

Common questions in Suffolk
Can you fit just one door?
Yes — from a single door to a full building.
Can you work around tenants or staff?
Yes. We phase work in occupied buildings and keep escape routes available. Each door is planned to be removed and replaced the same day; if that isn't possible, the opening is made secure and we tell you in advance.
How quickly can you survey in Suffolk?
We arrange surveys around your access needs and, where possible, combine visits with other work in Suffolk. Tell us your preferred dates when you enquire.
Do stairwell doors need smoke seals?
Usually yes. Doors onto protected stairs are typically FD30S or FD60S.
