What the law says in Essex
New and replacement fire doors in Essex 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.
Cost of steel fire doors in Essex
Our guide price for steel fire doors in Essex is £1,100 to £2,600 per single doorset including fitting, ex VAT. Non-standard sizes, veneers, vision panels and access control push towards the top of the range.
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 Essex
Which rules apply in Essex?

Yes. We survey, supply and fit steel fire doors across Essex, including Southend-on-Sea, Basildon and Colchester.
Will I get certificates for the doors fitted?

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