Certified timber fire doors for Exeter
We fit timber fire doorsets in paint, laminate and veneer in Exeter and the rest of Devon. The process is simple: we survey and measure each opening, propose a certified doorset for it, and give you a fixed price. Fitting is booked once the doorsets are made, usually with no door left out of action overnight.
Exeter is about 37 miles from Plymouth. Wherever your building is in EX4, we arrange survey and fitting dates around access and occupancy.
What the law says in Exeter
Because Exeter 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 timber fire doors in Devon
Guide prices for timber fire doors in Exeter 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.
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 Devon
Can you fit just one door in Exeter?
Yes — from a single door to a full building. Where possible, small jobs are scheduled alongside other visits in Devon.
Is the survey in Exeter free?
Yes. We measure and schedule your doors at no cost and send a fixed, itemised quote.
What does a Exeter quote include?
Survey, certified doorset, ironmongery, installation, removal of old doors and a handover pack. VAT is added at the standard rate.
Can a timber fire door be trimmed on site?
Only within the limits the manufacturer's evidence allows, usually a few millimetres. We prefer made-to-measure doorsets so no trimming is needed.
