Timber fire doors in Hornchurch: how we work
Getting timber fire doors right in Hornchurch means choosing a certified doorset for each opening and fitting it exactly as tested. That's the whole service: survey, schedule, certified doorset, careful installation and the paperwork to prove it.
Hornchurch is about 15 miles from London; we cover both, along with Romford, Dagenham and Becontree.
What the law says in Hornchurch
Because Hornchurch 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.
Timber fire doors prices in Hornchurch
Our guide for timber fire doors is £750–£1,600 per single doorset fitted, ex VAT. Quotes for Hornchurch are fixed once we've measured, and include removing and disposing of old doors where they're being replaced.
Central and inner London work can cost a little more where parking, loading restrictions or out-of-hours access apply; we show any access costs as a separate line.
Each quote covers the certified doorset, standard ironmongery, fitting, removal of the old door and a handover record; anything outside that scope is shown as a separate line before you accept.
Where timber fire doors are needed
Schools and care homes and flats and HMOs are among the most common settings for timber fire doors, in Hornchurch as elsewhere.
London has the UK's largest concentration of purpose-built flats and high-rise residential blocks, so flat entrance doors, communal corridor doors and regulation 10 checks drive much of the demand.

Yes. We can schedule doors flat by flat, send quotes per property and invoice the managing agent or freeholder.
Do you remove the old doors?
Yes. Removal and disposal of the old door and frame is included when we replace a doorset in Hornchurch.
