FD30 fire doors in Omagh

FD30 fire doors in Omagh: what's involved

We provide FD30 fire doors in Omagh (BT78 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.

Buildings in and around Omagh range from light industrial buildings to family homes after loft conversions and small blocks of flats. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.

In Omagh, 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 Omagh 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
• Fire-tested hinges, latch or lock and intumescent pads
• Intumescent strips and smoke seals to the certification

Which fire door rules apply in Omagh?

Omagh 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 Omagh are checked. We hand over evidence that supports it.
