FD30 fire doors in Feltham, done to the evidence
Our FD30 fire doors service in Feltham is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Fire doors in Feltham protect escape routes in schools, shared houses and mixed-use office buildings alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
For a mixed portfolio in Feltham, we can survey every FD30 opening in one visit and price leaf-only and doorset options side by side. Each FD30 leaf we supply for Feltham 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
- Overhead closer set to close and latch
- Survey of the opening, frame and existing ironmongery
- Frame-to-wall gap sealed with an evidenced material
Rules and responsibilities in Feltham
The rules that apply to fire doors in Feltham are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.
Where a Feltham block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.

Questions
Is Feltham within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Feltham in Greater London and neighbouring towns such as Hanworth. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Feltham building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
Do FD30 doors need a closer?
Most do. Doors on escape routes, flat entrance doors and doors in the common parts of buildings need a self-closing device that shuts and latches the door. Some doors inside houses and locked riser doors are exceptions, depending on the fire strategy.
What is the difference between FD30 and FD30S?
FD30S has been tested for smoke control as well as fire. It adds a smoke seal, usually a brush or blade, and needs a tight threshold gap. Flat entrance doors and doors onto protected escape routes are commonly specified as FD30S.
