FD30 fire doors in Heston, done to the evidence

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

For a mixed portfolio in Heston, 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 Heston 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:

• Overhead closer set to close and latch
• Photo record, product data and certificate references at handover
• Fire-tested hinges, latch or lock and intumescent pads
• Certified FD30 or FD30S leaf, or full doorset
