FD30 fire doors in Newry, BT35

FD30 fire doors: our service in Newry

For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Newry, we offer FD30 fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.

Around Newry, houses with integral garages, family homes after loft conversions and schools 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 Newry, 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 Newry 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:

• Survey of the opening, frame and existing ironmongery
• Certified FD30 or FD30S leaf, or full doorset
• Overhead closer set to close and latch
• Intumescent strips and smoke seals to the certification

Fire door law for Newry properties

Newry is in Northern Ireland, where fire doors are covered by the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012 and Technical Booklet E on fire safety. Duties in non-domestic premises come from the Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 and the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010.

The English regulation 10 checking regime does not apply here, so the fire risk assessment sets how often doors in Newry are checked. We hand over evidence that supports it.
