FD30 fire doors for Wallington buildings
We provide FD30 fire doors in Wallington (SM6 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Around Wallington, converted flats, clinics and mixed-use office buildings all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
In Wallington, 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 Wallington, 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:
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals to the certification
- 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

Common questions
Do you cover SM6 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Wallington including SM6, and nearby towns such as Carshalton and Sutton. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Wallington 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.
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.
