FD30 fire doors in Stamford Hill, done to the evidence
Looking for FD30 fire doors in Stamford Hill? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Stamford Hill and the wider Greater London area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
In and around Stamford Hill, fire door work covers everything from converted flats to schools. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
For a mixed portfolio in Stamford Hill, 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 Stamford Hill is sized for the opening, rather than trimmed beyond what its certification allows.
What does a correct FD30 installation include?
A typical timber FD30 leaf is around 44mm thick and hangs on at least three fire-tested hinges. The gaps between leaf and frame are set to the manufacturer's data, usually around 3mm. Intumescent strips, and smoke seals where needed, go in the frame or leaf edge as specified. The closer must pull the door shut and latch it from any angle. Every hole cut for a lock, latch or hinge is lined with intumescent material where the certification calls for it.
Then comes the part that is often skipped: sealing the gap between the frame and the wall with a tested material, as BS 8214:2026 now sets out in more detail.
Each installation includes:
- Survey of the opening, frame and existing ironmongery
- Overhead closer set to close and latch
- Photo record, product data and certificate references at handover
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals to the certification
Which fire door rules apply in Stamford Hill?
The rules that apply to fire doors in Stamford Hill 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 Stamford Hill 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 from Stamford Hill
Do you work in Stamford Hill?

What happens on a survey in Stamford Hill?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
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.
