Repair & Remediation Costs
Component-level remediation resolves the majority of defects found on inspection — significantly cheaper than full door replacement. All remedial works include a post-remediation inspection certificate.
Same-day minor remedials: Where seal replacements, closer adjustments and minor gap rectification are identified during inspection, our inspectors can carry out these works on the same visit in most cases — charged at the standard per-item rate below, no additional call-out fee.
| Remedial Work (supply & fit) | Indicative Cost |
|---|---|
| Intumescent seal replacement (one door, full perimeter) | £50–90 |
| Intumescent + cold smoke seal replacement (FD30S/FD60S) | £80–140 |
| Door closer adjustment (no parts required) | £40–70 |
| Door closer replacement — standard overhead (BS EN 1154) | £90–160 |
| Door closer replacement — heavy duty or surface-mounted | £120–220 |
| Door closer replacement — concealed or floor spring | £150–350 |
| Hinge set replacement (set of 3, certified fire-rated) | £80–160 |
| Gap rectification — door re-hang or adjustment | £75–200 |
| Intumescent threshold seal (supply & fit) | £40–90 |
| Vision panel glazing replacement (certified fire glass) | £120–280 |
| Ironmongery upgrade — lock, latch, handles (certified) | £80–220 |
| Fire-rated filler — holes, redundant fixings, minor damage | £35–80 per defect |
| Certification mark investigation & documentation | £35–60 per door |
Prices are per door and exclude VAT. Multiple remedial items on the same door are quoted together. Minor remedials carried out on the inspection day do not attract a separate call-out charge.
FD30S & FD60S Supply, Delivery & Installation
Full door set replacement is required where a door cannot be brought to compliance through component remediation — typically where certification is absent, the door has structural damage, or it is not FD30S/FD60S rated. All installations include a post-installation inspection and compliance certificate.
| Door Set (supply, deliver & install) | Indicative Cost |
|---|---|
| FD30S — standard residential (44mm leaf, certified frame & hardware) | £400–650 |
| FD30S — communal corridor standard (heavier duty) | £500–750 |
| FD30S with certified vision panel (glazing included) | £500–800 |
| FD60S — escape route or high-rise specification | £650–950 |
| FD60S with certified vision panel | £700–1,050 |
| Full door set and frame replacement (complete opening) | £700–1,200+ |
| Non-standard sizes (over 2.1m height or 1.0m width) | Additional — quote on survey |
| Volume discount (10+ doors in one visit) | Typically 10–20% reduction |
All replacement installations include: supply of certified door set, delivery, installation by FDIS-trained fitter, post-installation inspection, and updated compliance certificate. Prices exclude VAT. Non-standard sizes, restricted access, and out-of-hours working may attract additional charges, which will be quoted clearly in advance.
What Affects the Final Cost
The ranges above cover the typical scope of work. These are the factors most likely to move a specific job toward the upper end of the range — all of which will be identified and quoted before works begin.
Portfolio Size
The single biggest driver of per-door inspection cost. Larger door counts spread the fixed cost of attendance across more doors. Multi-site portfolios can achieve the lowest per-door rates by grouping visits efficiently. For standalone single-door jobs, minimum attendance charges apply.
Door Specification
FD60S costs more than FD30S due to the denser core material, heavier frame, and enhanced hardware specification. Non-standard door sizes (over 2100mm height or 1000mm width) require special order and attract additional cost. Decorative or heritage finishes also add to material cost.
Access Conditions
High-rise properties requiring lift access, buildings with restricted working hours or noise restrictions, and properties requiring scaffolding or specialist access equipment all increase installation cost. Access requirements will always be assessed at survey stage and quoted explicitly.
Scope of Defects
A door requiring only a seal replacement costs far less than one requiring re-hanging, new hinges, a new closer, and seal replacement. The inspection report scopes every defect precisely, so the remediation quote is specific to the work required — no padding for unknowns.
Frame Condition
Where the existing door frame is damaged, rotten, or of incorrect specification, frame replacement is required alongside the door leaf. This increases both material and installation cost but is identified at survey and quoted separately so the full project cost is known in advance.
Urgency
Standard scheduling applies to Significant and Advisory defects. Critical defects requiring same-day or next-day attendance are prioritised without additional emergency call-out charges for existing inspection clients. Ad-hoc emergency visits for non-inspection clients attract an uplift, which is always quoted before attendance.
Annual PPM Contract Pricing
A PPM contract combines inspection and routine maintenance into a single annual cost — the most cost-effective approach to ongoing compliance. Per-door rates are bespoke to portfolio size and inspection frequency.
What a PPM Contract Includes
Scheduled FDIS-certified inspection at the legally required frequency. Routine maintenance on every visit — closer adjustment, seal check, gap verification. Minor remedials within an agreed annual allowance per door. Full digital compliance report and certificate after every visit. Priority scheduling for urgent defects between visits.
Indicative PPM Pricing
Annual per-door PPM rates typically range from £35–90 per door per year depending on inspection frequency (quarterly, bi-annual or annual), portfolio size, and the minor remedials allowance included. This covers inspection plus routine maintenance — not full component replacements, which are quoted separately.
Why PPM Costs Less Overall
A PPM contract catches defects when they are inexpensive to fix — a closer adjustment at £40 rather than a full replacement at £160; a perished seal found at routine service rather than a critical finding requiring same-day emergency attendance. Over a three-year period, PPM consistently costs less than reactive maintenance for the same door count.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a fire door inspection cost?
Fire door inspection costs range from £8 to £35 per door depending on portfolio size. Smaller single-property inspections typically cost £18–35 per door. Portfolio rates for 20+ doors start from £10–20 per door. Every inspection — regardless of size — produces the same output: a full digital report with timestamped photographs, pass/fail per door, a prioritised remediation schedule, and a building compliance certificate. There is no reduced-service option.
How much does fire door seal replacement cost?
Intumescent seal replacement (supply and fit) typically costs £50–90 per door. Where both intumescent and cold smoke seals need replacing — which is the case for any FD30S or FD60S door — the combined cost is £80–140 per door. Seals can often be replaced on the same day as inspection where the defect is identified during the inspection visit, at no additional call-out charge.
How much does it cost to replace a fire door?
Full FD30S fire door set replacement (supply, delivery and installation) costs £400–750 per door for a standard residential specification in London and the South East. FD60S replacement costs £650–950. Every replacement includes a post-installation FDIS-certified inspection and updated compliance certificate. Non-standard sizes, restricted access, and out-of-hours working attract additional charges, which are always quoted before works begin.
Can I save money by only replacing the door leaf and not the frame?
Only if the existing frame is in good condition and compatible with the new door leaf's test evidence. The fire resistance certification applies to the complete tested assembly — door leaf, frame, hardware, and seals. If you fit a certified door leaf into a frame it was not tested with, you cannot guarantee the rated performance. Our installers will advise on whether the existing frame is suitable during the survey visit.
Is fire door inspection more expensive than remedial works?
No. The majority of defects found on inspection can be resolved through component-level remediation at £50–200 per door. Combined inspection and typical remediation cost per door is almost always under £300. Compare this to the cost of enforcement action, a prohibition notice stopping all rental income, or insurance voidance following a fire — which are all unlimited in their financial impact.
Do you charge a call-out fee on top of inspection costs?
For properties with 6 or more doors, no separate call-out fee is charged — the per-door rate covers attendance. For very small single-door or two-door jobs, a minimum attendance charge may apply. All charges are confirmed in writing before any visit takes place. Minor remedial works identified on the day of inspection are carried out at the standard per-item rate with no additional attendance charge.
