Timber fire doors in Exmouth: how we work
We fit timber fire doorsets in paint, laminate and veneer in Exmouth 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.
We cover EX8 and the surrounding area, including Heavitree. Tell us your postcode and preferred dates and we'll confirm a survey slot.
Which rules apply in Exmouth?
In Exmouth, 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.
Cost of timber fire doors in Devon
Guide prices for timber fire doors in Exmouth 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.

Timber fire doors in Exmouth: questions
Can you work around tenants or staff in Exmouth?
Yes. We phase work in occupied buildings and keep escape routes available. Each door is planned to be removed and replaced the same day; if that isn't possible, the opening is made secure and we tell you in advance.
Can you fit just one door in Exmouth?
Yes — from a single door to a full building. Where possible, small jobs are scheduled alongside other visits in Devon.
Do you remove the old doors?
Yes. Removal and disposal of the old door and frame is included when we replace a doorset in Exmouth.
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.
