Fire and security doors in Atherstone
Landlords with mixed-use buildings in Warwickshire can ask us to go through the door schedule for an Atherstone property and price the changes together.
If your Atherstone shop has flats above, the door between the two uses may need a fire rating, so check your fire risk assessment. Fire doors only work if they close fully, so we check gaps, seals and closers on each door we replace in Atherstone and across Warwickshire.
Atherstone is about 15 miles from our Great Barr base in Birmingham, so surveys are easy to plan. Postcodes we work in around here include CV9, and we also cover Nuneaton, Bedworth and Tamworth nearby.

What does it cost in Atherstone?
Fire and security doors usually cost £895 to £2,495 ex VAT per door set, supplied and fitted. The rating, leaf size, vision panels, and lock or panic hardware set the price, and steel security doorsets cost more than timber fire doors. Altering a frame, making good the wall or matching existing finishes adds labour. We price each door against its test evidence.
Rear doors can be a weak point, so on your Atherstone premises we look at the frame, hinges and locks together. Tell us your opening hours when you book and we will plan the Atherstone job around them, with overnight or weekend fitting where the work allows.
Common questions
Do you work in CV9?
Yes. Atherstone and the CV9 postcodes are covered, as is the rest of Warwickshire. Send your postcode with your enquiry and we will come back to you with the next step.
Does my shop legally need a fire door?
It depends on your layout and fire risk assessment. In England and Wales, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to keep people safe, which can mean fire doors on escape routes or between uses. Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own fire safety law.
What is the difference between FD30 and FD60?
FD30 is tested to hold back fire for 30 minutes and FD60 for 60 minutes. An S suffix, as in FD30S, means the door also limits smoke. Your fire risk assessment or fire strategy sets the rating each door needs.
Do I need planning permission for a new shopfront in Atherstone?
Usually yes, if the new front changes how the building looks. Like-for-like repairs usually don't. Your local planning authority decides, and we can prepare the drawings. Signs and external shutters have their own rules.
