FD30 fire doors in Bangor, BT20

FD30 fire doors for Bangor buildings

When you book FD30 fire doors in Bangor, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.

Buildings in and around Bangor range from family homes after loft conversions to industrial estates and high-street shops. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.

In Bangor, FD30 doors are the usual choice for escape-route corridors, stairs and kitchen doors where the fire strategy asks for 30 minutes. For a mixed portfolio in Bangor, we can survey every FD30 opening in one visit and price leaf-only and doorset options side by side.

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.

As standard, the work covers:

• Intumescent strips and smoke seals to the certification
• Overhead closer set to close and latch
• Frame-to-wall gap sealed with an evidenced material
• Fire-tested hinges, latch or lock and intumescent pads
