Timber fire doors in Wigan: how we work
We fit timber fire doorsets in paint, laminate and veneer in Wigan and the rest of Greater Manchester. 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 Wigan surveys with other visits in Greater Manchester, such as Hindley and Ashton-in-Makerfield, which helps keep survey dates flexible.
Regulations for timber fire doors in Greater Manchester
Because Wigan 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 Wigan
Expect roughly £750–£1,600 per single doorset for timber fire doors, fitted, ex VAT. Your Wigan quote is fixed after survey and itemised door by door.
We show each door's price separately, so if budget is tight you can phase the work and start with the doors your fire risk assessment prioritises.

Common questions in Greater Manchester
Can you work around tenants or staff in Wigan?
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.
Do you cover Wigan?
Yes. We survey, supply and fit timber fire doors throughout Wigan and the rest of Greater Manchester, including WN1 and nearby Hindley.
Do you remove the old doors?
Yes. Removal and disposal of the old door and frame is included when we replace a doorset in Wigan.
Are timber doors as good as steel?
For FD30 and FD60 in most buildings, yes. Steel suits plant areas, high security and longer ratings.
