What do you need to price a fire door package?

A door schedule with references, ratings and hardware sets, the relevant drawings and specification, the intended programme window, access and storage arrangements, and any requirements for records at handover. The more complete the schedule, the fewer provisional items the price needs.

Do you set the fire rating or specification for each door?

No. Ratings, smoke control and other performance requirements come from the approved design, fire strategy or specification. We price and install to that information and raise queries where the schedule is unclear or inconsistent.

Is your installation check the same as a fire door inspection?

No. We carry out our own quality checks on completion — gaps, alignment, seals, closing and latching — and record them. A formal fire door inspection or written report, if your project needs one, is arranged through a specialist external inspection partner.

How are variations handled?

Changes to door types, hardware, quantities or sequence should be instructed in writing and priced before the work is done. Variations should be recorded against door references so the final account and the handover records match what was installed.

Can you put right fire door snags left by others?

Yes, as remedial works, where the snag list identifies each door and the defect. We price the remedial scope; the snagging guide explains how to log snags usefully.

Are you on any approved supplier lists or frameworks?

We do not claim membership of any framework, approved-supplier list or third-party installer scheme on this page. If your project requires specific accreditation or prequalification, tell us at enquiry stage so it can be discussed before pricing.

Sector

Fire Door Packages for Developers and Main Contractors

On a build or refurbishment, fire doors sit at the junction of several trades: the opening has to be ready, the doorset has to match the approved schedule and the records have to survive to handover. We price and deliver permanent fire door packages — supply and fit, and remedial works — for developers and main contractors working across the East Midlands.

What We Take On

Supply & fit

Doorset packages to schedule

Fire doorsets or leaves with frames and ironmongery, installed to the approved door schedule and the manufacturer's installation instructions.

Remedials

Putting existing or snagged doors right

Adjustment, component renewal and replacement on refurbishments, or snag items left at handover, priced door by door.

Coordination

Working to your programme

Install windows and sequencing with follow-on trades agreed in advance, with openings that are not ready recorded for resolution.

Records

Close-out tied to door references

Installation records and product information organised by door reference for the handover file.

Design And Scope Inputs We Price From

A reliable price comes from the approved information, not from assumptions. We ask for the following before pricing and record any gaps as queries or provisional items.

Where the question concerns specification control rather than site coordination, see fire doors for architects and specifiers for applicable product evidence, written substitution approvals and the handover revision trail.

Door schedule: references, locations, ratings, smoke control, leaf sizes, hand and configuration
Ironmongery schedule and any access-control or hold-open interfaces
Drawings and wall types for each opening
Fire strategy or specification clauses affecting doors
Finishes, glazing and vision panel requirements
Programme window, phasing and required records at handover

Opening Readiness

Opening readiness affects fit, sequencing and programme. An opening should be built to the size and wall type the doorset requires, with the structure and linings ready to receive the frame. Openings should be checked against the approved information before fitting, and any unsuitable opening recorded and resolved with the main contractor before a frame is installed in it.

Structural opening size and squareness
Wall construction matching the schedule
Floor finish level and threshold detail agreed
Services, cabling and penetrations around the opening coordinated

Deliveries, Storage And Sequencing

Fire doorsets need dry, flat storage and protection after fitting. Delivery batches, storage location and who protects doors once installed should be agreed, with work sequenced around decorators, flooring and M&E trades. Order-to-site timescales depend on specification and supplier; general factors are covered in our lead times guide.

Variations And Snagging

Variations are priced and instructed in writing before the work, and recorded against door references. At the end of the package, snags should be logged door by door; our guide to fire door snagging in new-build buildings explains how to log them so they can be priced and closed.

Quality Checks And Handover Records

On completion we check and record gaps, alignment, seals, closing and latching for each door. What a handover file should contain is set out in fire door handover documentation. These checks are our installation quality checks; they are not a formal fire door inspection. If the client or project requires an independent inspection or report, it is arranged through a specialist external inspection partner.
