Flat front door needs replacing

[Guest Christine]

Hi, I own a flat and was told by a Fire Safety Inspecting Officer that I need to replace the front door of my flat, which opens onto a communal corridor, with a FD30s door. I have two issues which I could do with some advice please. 

1) I have been quoted £1900 for this, which I cannot afford. Are there any schemes available to help home owners with the costs? I want to comply, and I understand the reasons for fire safety etc. I simply don’t have the money.

2) I have been on the bwf  website, as I would rather use an approved supplier/installer, (assuming I can somehow find the funds) but any searches only come up with members nowhere near me, despite being near a big city. Surely using a national company will make this even more expensive? 
 

Thanks in advance for any advice, I’m really struggling with this.

The system, as it is, tends not to be helpful to private flat owners.  You could start by discussing the matter with your local Certificated Fire Door Inspector.  They may be able to help.
