supply and install new front door (fire Safety standards)

Dandytf

Since anglican and everest say NO to a new front door.
Where do I start to find supply and install new front door (fire Safety standards)
I'm top of 4 floors flat roof 1 bedroom flat.
Anglican eventually said NO and Everest wont go above 2 floors.

thanks

I'd take this as a sign that you shouldn't be getting an overpriced new door on expensive finance.

I'm not timewasting.  But at the very least, people need to be aware that you're reliant on finance as it's going to somewhat reduce the number of suppliers you can go to.

If you were not reliant on finance you would be able to use the entire market (and save quite a bit of money too.)

It's Anglian, not Anglican.

A google search of 'composite fire doors for flats' seems to bring up a wide selection of FD30 fire rated door suppliers. I know nothing about fire regs for flat doors but I'm guessing this is what you're looking for?

Thanks most initial companies said No to firesafe standard door.
I have since found a local door supplier within a few miles +850 cost range.
Since trying to source a joiner to take in the installation job including cutting letter box etc.

hopefully this succeeds  to order new door status.

thanks

Not sure if cutting a letterbox in a fire door will invalidate its safety rating. You may be better off with a letterbox screwed to the wall.

Wall letter boxes were external until all were removed and replaced with door letter box's.
I'll make some checks before, thanks

Then any fire rating it had is made redundant by virtue of having a hole cut in it! 

I wouldn't touch Everest or Anglian with a bargepole.  Overpriced and sold by people with no experience.

Miracle local tradesman offer composite door of my choice 1200 pounds supply+install.
Looking forward to seeing if door or windows arrive 1st, though seems more possible Door is sooner.
Using savings,only Windows on finance.
thanks
