FD30 fire doors in Woodford Green

FD30 fire doors: our service in Woodford Green

From the IG8 postcode district outwards, we take on FD30 fire doors across Woodford Green for homes, blocks and workplaces.

In and around Woodford Green, fire door work covers everything from student accommodation to hotels. We plan each job around the people who use the building.

For a mixed portfolio in Woodford Green, 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 Woodford Green 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.

What you get:

• Fire-tested hinges, latch or lock and intumescent pads
• Frame-to-wall gap sealed with an evidenced material
• Photo record, product data and certificate references at handover
• Survey of the opening, frame and existing ironmongery

The regulations behind fire doors in Woodford Green

Fire doors in Woodford Green fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.

Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.
