Steel fire doors in Canterbury

Getting steel fire doors fitted in Canterbury

We cover Canterbury and nearby Whitstable for steel fire doors, with surveys booked around your building's access and occupancy. Each door is quoted individually, so you can see what every opening costs and why.

Whether your building is in central Canterbury or on its edges towards Whitstable, survey and fitting dates are arranged around your access needs, with occupied buildings worked in planned phases.

Which rules apply in Canterbury?

In Canterbury, 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 steel fire doors cost in Canterbury?

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