Our Chelmsford supply and fit service
We cover Chelmsford and nearby Billericay for timber fire doors, with surveys booked around your building's access and occupancy. Each door is quoted individually, so you can see what every opening costs and why.
Where possible we combine Chelmsford surveys with other visits in Essex, such as Billericay and Witham, which helps keep survey dates flexible.
Fire door rules in Chelmsford
In Chelmsford, 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.
