Fire Doors

Does anyone have any idea what a good standard fire door should cost to have fitted, I've been told a good chippie should be able to install one ?


Many thanks

  • I paid a local carpentry company £400 inc fitting/varnishing and vat, it is very secure compared to these modern composite things and much thicker.
    I would not pay more than £500 all in!

    Is it a replacement or a new install?


    Fire doors need to have intumescent strips installed, three intumescent hinges and a closer.


    It's easily a days work to do that, so allow a days money £200 plus door etc. So easily £350 - £400

    If are handy, you an buy a cheap router and a 10mm bit (width of the strip and it may have changed?) for about £50, intumescent strips, hinges and closer from screwfix, and fire door of 30 it 60 mins? door probably from Magnet for under £55. If you pay cash at magnet you get discount.
  • Thanks all. I would need it fitted tbh but it doesn't sound like it's going to break the bank.
