FD30 fire doors in Chiswick

FD30 fire doors for Chiswick buildings

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

Fire doors in Chiswick protect escape routes in shared houses, clinics and hotels alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.

In Chiswick, 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 Chiswick, we can survey every FD30 opening in one visit and price leaf-only and doorset options side by side.

Leaf only or a full doorset?

If the existing frame is sound, correctly sized, securely fixed and compatible with the new leaf's certification, a new FD30 leaf can be hung in it. Many frames do not pass that test: old softwood linings, frames that have been cut about for previous doors, or frames with no evidence of how they were fixed. In those cases a certified doorset (leaf, frame and ironmongery tested together) is the cleaner answer and usually the quicker one on site.

We tell you which route each opening needs on the survey, door by door, and why.

What you get:

• Overhead closer set to close and latch
• Fire-tested hinges, latch or lock and intumescent pads
• Certified FD30 or FD30S leaf, or full doorset
• Frame-to-wall gap sealed with an evidenced material
