Stairwell fire doors in Sudbury: how we work
We fit doors onto protected stairs and escape routes in Sudbury and the rest of Suffolk. 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.
Where possible we combine Sudbury surveys with other visits in Suffolk, such as Colchester and Haverhill, which helps keep survey dates flexible.
What the law says in Sudbury
In Sudbury, 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 Sudbury?
Expect roughly £850–£1,400 per single doorset for stairwell fire doors, fitted, ex VAT. Your Sudbury 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.
