Certified timber fire doors for Colchester
We fit timber fire doorsets in paint, laminate and veneer in Colchester and the rest of Essex. 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.
Where possible we combine Colchester surveys with other visits in Essex, such as Sudbury and Clacton-on-Sea, which helps keep survey dates flexible.
Which rules apply in Colchester?
Fire doors in Colchester sit under English rules: Approved Document B sets what goes in, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 covers keeping doors effective in non-domestic premises and shared parts of residential buildings, and the 2022 regulations require regular door checks in residential buildings taller than 11 metres. Higher-risk buildings — 18 metres or seven storeys with two or more homes — also come under the Building Safety Act 2022.

Common questions in Essex
Can you fit just one door in Colchester?
Yes — from a single door to a full building. Where possible, small jobs are scheduled alongside other visits in Essex.
What does a Colchester quote include?
Survey, certified doorset, ironmongery, installation, removal of old doors and a handover pack. VAT is added at the standard rate.
Will I get certificates for the doors fitted in Colchester?
Every doorset is listed in your handover pack with the manufacturer's certificate reference, plus an installation record and photos.
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.
