Key rate adjusters
Fire performance
Certified FD30S construction typically adds £300–£600 per doorset, while FD60S can add £650–£1,100.
Ironmongery
Upgrading to access control, panic hardware or specialist security sets can increase the rate by £250–£1,200 per door.
Leaf and finish
Hardwood veneer, laminate or bespoke factory finishes commonly increase the base rate by 15%–35%.
Opening condition
Packing, trimming and local making good to inaccurate openings can add £100–£300 per doorset.
Size and configuration
Oversized, double-leaf or unequal-pair arrangements generally add 40%–100% compared with a standard single leaf.
Quantity and access
Small batches, multiple workfaces or restricted delivery routes can increase installed rates by 10%–25%.
Quantity surveyor insights
  • Waste and buildability: Protect finished leaves and frames, verify openings before manufacture and sequence installation after wet trades; poor coordination can cause costly frame alterations, damaged finishes and aborted fitting visits.
  • Scope and procurement: Align the doorset, ironmongery, access-control, fire-certification, signage and builder’s-work packages before order placement. Certified fire doorsets and bespoke veneers can carry long lead times, so late design changes often create both premium cost and programme risk.
