Timber fire doors in Essex: how we work
Our Essex service covers timber fire doors for flats, HMOs, workplaces, schools and homes, including Southend-on-Sea, Basildon and Colchester.
Which rules apply in Essex?
New and replacement fire doors in Essex are specified under the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 makes the responsible person keep fire doors in working order, and in residential buildings with a storey above 11 metres regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds quarterly checks of communal doors and annual checks of flat entrance doors.
What do timber fire doors cost in Essex?
Expect roughly £750–£1,600 per single doorset for timber fire doors, fitted, ex VAT. Your Essex 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.

Your questions answered
How quickly can you survey in Essex?
We arrange surveys around your access needs and, where possible, combine visits with other work in Essex. Tell us your preferred dates when you enquire.
Do you cover the whole of Essex?
Yes. We survey, supply and fit timber fire doors across Essex, including Southend-on-Sea, Basildon and Colchester.
Can you work around tenants or staff?
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 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.
