Regulations for steel fire doors in Dorset

In Christchurch, 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.

Cost of steel fire doors in Dorset

Expect roughly £1,100–£2,600 per single doorset for steel fire doors, fitted, ex VAT. Your Christchurch 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.
