Our Reading supply and fit service
Getting timber fire doors right in Reading means choosing a certified doorset for each opening and fitting it exactly as tested. That's the whole service: survey, schedule, certified doorset, careful installation and the paperwork to prove it.
We cover Reading and the rest of Berkshire, with surveys arranged around your building's access and occupancy.
What the law says in Reading
In Reading, 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.
Guide prices in Reading
Guide prices for timber fire doors in Reading run from about £750 to £1,600 per single doorset, supplied and fitted, ex VAT. Size, glazing, finish and ironmongery move the price, and the survey quote is fixed.
If your fire risk assessment lists specific doors, send it with your enquiry and we'll price exactly those openings.

Common questions in Berkshire
Is the survey in Reading free?

Every doorset is listed in your handover pack with the manufacturer's certificate reference, plus an installation record and photos.
Do you work for landlords and managing agents in Reading?
Yes. We can schedule doors flat by flat, send quotes per property and invoice the managing agent or freeholder.
