What the law says in Cumbria
In Cumbria, 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.
Steel fire doors prices in Cumbria
Our guide for steel fire doors is £1,100–£2,600 per single doorset fitted, ex VAT. Quotes for Cumbria are fixed once we've measured, and include removing and disposing of old doors where they're being replaced.
The biggest price drivers are leaf size, glazing, finish and ironmongery; upper floors without lifts and restricted parking can also affect fitting cost.

Your questions answered
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.
Will I get certificates for the doors fitted?
Every doorset is listed in your handover pack with the manufacturer's certificate reference, plus an installation record and photos.
Do you remove the old doors?
Yes. Removal and disposal of the old door and frame is included when we replace a doorset.
Are steel fire doors better than timber?
Not better — different. Steel suits heavy-use, external and high-rating locations; timber suits most internal doors.
