Getting steel fire doors fitted in Folkestone
For landlords, managing agents, businesses and homeowners in Folkestone, 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.
Whether your building is in central Folkestone or on its edges towards Dover, survey and fitting dates are arranged around your access needs, with occupied buildings worked in planned phases.
Fire door rules in Folkestone
Because Folkestone is in England, the starting point is Approved Document B for the specification and the Fire Safety Order 2005 for ongoing duties. Blocks with a storey above 11 metres also fall under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: communal fire doors checked at least every three months, flat front doors at least every year.
Cost of steel fire doors in Kent
Budget around £1,100 to £2,600 per single doorset for steel fire doors supplied and fitted in Folkestone, excluding VAT. We price each opening separately so nothing is hidden in a lump sum.
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.
