FIRE DOOR INSTALLATION · BOURNEMOUTH
Fire Door Installation in Bournemouth
Our fire door installation in Bournemouth covers certified doorsets for communal areas, flat entrances and commercial buildings. A local team fits and finishes every door to a high standard. See everything we do in the town on our fire doors in Bournemouth page, or our general fire door installation service.
CERTIFIED DOORSETS, PROPERLY FITTED
Some fire doors are beyond repair, non-certified, or due for replacement as part of a wider refurbishment. In those cases, the door needs installing as a complete certified doorset: the leaf, frame, seals and ironmongery working together as one tested assembly. Across Bournemouth we install certified doorsets in the residential blocks and conversions of Westbourne, Boscombe and Southbourne. We also work in the managed estates around the town and the commercial premises around the centre, Lansdowne and the Triangle. Not sure whether a door needs replacing or can be saved? Start with a fire door inspection in Bournemouth.
We work with management companies, main contractors, managing agents and landlords. We supply and fit certified flat entrance doorsets, cross-corridor doors, cupboard and riser doors. Each one gets the correct frame, intumescent fire and smoke seals and ironmongery, and a tidy finish.
That might be a new certified flat-entrance doorset in Westbourne, communal FD30 doorsets for a block in Ensbury Park or a full FD60 stair-core installation in Queen’s Park. Either way, we supply and fit every doorset to certification, right across Bournemouth.
WHAT WE INSTALL
Fire door installation in Bournemouth for every part of the building
Certified doorset installation. We supply and fit complete certified fire doorsets: leaf, frame, seals and ironmongery as one tested assembly. See our general fire door installation service.
Flat entrance doors. Prefinished doorsets fitted with the full ironmongery residents need: closers, letterplates, spyholes, locks and numbering.
Cross-corridor & cupboard doors. Communal doors with vision panels, push/pull furniture, kickplates and signage.
Accessibility-conscious fitting. Easy-open closers and Part M compliant vision panels where residents need them, without compromising fire performance.
WHY IT MATTERS
Installed right, certified, and documented
A fire door only performs as intended when it is a complete certified doorset, with the correct frame, seals and ironmongery, fitted to the manufacturer’s tolerances. We install certified doorsets and provide the documentation to evidence what we supplied and fitted. That is useful for the building’s fire risk assessment, insurer or the Building Safety Regulator. Where repair would bring an existing door up to standard instead, we will tell you honestly. See our repair or replace guide.
A RECENT PROJECT
A second opinion in Southbourne
At the Panorama building in Southbourne, an earlier third-party report had recommended replacing many of the fire doors. The client asked us for a second opinion. Our survey found that remedial work would bring most of the doors back to standard, and only one needed a new certified doorset. So we installed that one doorset, repaired the rest and documented every door with photographs. In other words, a far smaller job than the original report suggested, with the same compliant result.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Fire door installation in Bournemouth: common questions
How much does fire door installation in Bournemouth cost?
A certified FD30 single doorset supplied and fitted usually falls between £600 and £1,300 +VAT, depending on rating, size, glazing and ironmongery. FD60 and double doorsets cost more. For anything beyond a single door we survey first and give you an itemised, per-door quote. Our cost guide has typical figures.
How long does a replacement take?
We make doorsets to measure at our Christchurch depot from certified components, so lead times are usually shorter than buying in. Fitting a single doorset typically takes a few hours. On a block we phase the work so no flat is left without a door overnight.
Do I need FD30 or FD60?
Most flat entrance and communal doors need FD30S: 30 minutes fire resistance with cold smoke seals. FD60 is used where the fire strategy or Approved Document B calls for 60 minutes, such as some plant rooms and protected shafts. Your fire risk assessment or the building drawings will say which. If not, we advise on survey.
Will the new door match the existing ones?
Usually, yes. Doorsets come in a range of veneers, paint finishes and vision panel layouts, and we specify to match the corridor. Where a like-for-like match is not certified, we will say so and offer the closest compliant option.
What paperwork do I get?
The doorset’s certification and data sheet, the components fitted, and a photographed installation record for each door. That is the evidence a fire risk assessor, insurer or the Building Safety Regulator will ask to see.
Can you replace just one flat entrance fire door?
Yes. We fit single doors for leaseholders and landlords as well as whole blocks for managing agents. If the door only needs repair, we will tell you that first; see our guide to repair or replace.
