Steel fire doors in Durham: how we work
For landlords, managing agents, businesses and homeowners in Durham, we provide steel fire doorsets with one fixed quote. A free survey comes first, then a door-by-door schedule, then installation to the manufacturer's instructions and a handover pack for your records.
Where possible we combine Durham surveys with other visits in County Durham, such as Chester-le-Street and Houghton-le-Spring, which helps keep survey dates flexible.
Fire door rules in Durham
New and replacement fire doors in Durham 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.
Guide prices in Durham
Budget around £1,100 to £2,600 per single doorset for steel fire doors supplied and fitted in Durham, excluding VAT. We price each opening separately so nothing is hidden in a lump sum.
Each quote covers the certified doorset, standard ironmongery, fitting, removal of the old door and a handover record; anything outside that scope is shown as a separate line before you accept.

Questions about steel fire doors in Durham
Which rules do steel fire doors in Durham need to meet?
They are specified to Approved Document B (England) and your fire risk assessment or fire strategy. We confirm the rating of each door at survey.
Do you work for landlords and managing agents in Durham?
Yes. We can schedule doors flat by flat, send quotes per property and invoice the managing agent or freeholder.
Can you fit just one door in Durham?
Yes — from a single door to a full building. Where possible, small jobs are scheduled alongside other visits in County Durham.

Not better — different. Steel suits heavy-use, external and high-rating locations; timber suits most internal doors.
