FD30 fire doors in Wrexham: what's involved

Looking for FD30 fire doors in Wrexham? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Wrexham and the wider Clwyd area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.

Around Wrexham, high-street shops, houses with integral garages and family homes after loft conversions all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.

In Wrexham, FD30 doors are the usual choice for escape-route corridors, stairs and kitchen doors where the fire strategy asks for 30 minutes. Each FD30 leaf we supply for Wrexham is sized for the opening, rather than trimmed beyond what its certification allows.

Where are FD30 doors used?

FD30 is the rating most buildings rely on. You will find it on flat entrance doors, doors onto escape corridors and stairs in houses in multiple occupation, kitchen doors in HMOs, and most internal doors on escape routes in offices, schools, surgeries and shops. Where smoke control matters too, the door is specified as FD30S (E30Sa), which adds a smoke seal and a tighter threshold.

The rating your building needs comes from its fire strategy or fire risk assessment, not from the door supplier. If you are unsure whether a door should be FD30 or FD60, we check the drawings, the risk assessment and what is installed now before we price anything. Our FD30 vs FD60 guide explains the difference.

Each installation includes:

• Photo record, product data and certificate references at handover
• Survey of the opening, frame and existing ironmongery
• Overhead closer set to close and latch
• Fire-tested hinges, latch or lock and intumescent pads

Rules and responsibilities in Wrexham

Wrexham is in Wales, where new and replacement fire doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 as applied in Wales, with the Welsh Approved Document B as guidance. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 also applies, so responsible persons in workplaces and the common parts of blocks must keep fire doors maintained.

One difference from England: regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, with its quarterly and annual fire door checks, does not apply in Wales. Your fire risk assessment sets the checking regime instead, and we work to it.
