FD30 fire doors in Hanworth, done to the evidence
Our FD30 fire doors service covers Hanworth and the wider Greater London area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Hanworth has a broad mix of buildings, including mixed-use office buildings, student accommodation and clinics, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
For a mixed portfolio in Hanworth, 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 Hanworth is sized for the opening, rather than trimmed beyond what its certification allows.
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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Certified FD30 or FD30S leaf, or full doorset
- Fire-tested hinges, latch or lock and intumescent pads
- Photo record, product data and certificate references at handover
- Frame-to-wall gap sealed with an evidenced material
Fire door law for Hanworth properties
In Hanworth, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Hanworth building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.
Where FD30 fire doors fit in Hanworth
The need for FD30 fire doors usually arises in blocks of flats or offices, and sometimes HMOs. Each has its own pressures, such as residents at home or a building that must stay open, so we plan the sequence of work in Hanworth to keep escape routes protected throughout.
What happens after you enquire
- Measure the opening, check the frame and confirm the rating needed
- Order a certified leaf or doorset to size, with matching components
- Remove the old door and assess the frame or structural opening
- Fix the frame and hang the leaf to the certified gap tolerances
- Fit seals, hinges, latch, closer and signage, then test close-and-latch
- Seal the frame-to-wall gap, make good and record the evidence

Questions from Hanworth
Do you work in Hanworth?
Yes, we take on FD30 fire doors in Hanworth and the surrounding area, including Hampton and Feltham. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Hanworth 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.
How long does it take to fit an FD30 door?
A leaf into a sound frame is often a few hours. A full doorset including frame removal, fixing, sealing and making good is usually half a day to a day per opening, depending on access and the wall construction.
Can a new FD30 door go into my old frame?
Sometimes. The frame has to be sound, square, securely fixed and compatible with the new leaf's certification. Many older frames are not, especially softwood linings or frames altered for previous doors. We check each frame on the survey and recommend a doorset only where the frame cannot be relied on.
