FD30 fire doors in Bury

FD30 fire doors: our service in Bury

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

Bury has a broad mix of buildings, including low-rise blocks of flats, HMOs and industrial estates, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.

For a mixed portfolio in Bury, 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 Bury 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.

What you get:

• Survey of the opening, frame and existing ironmongery
• 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

Which fire door rules apply in Bury?

In Bury, 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.

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 Bury 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.

Which buildings in Bury need FD30 fire doors?

From schools to blocks of flats, the requirement for FD30 fire doors in Bury comes from the fire strategy or risk assessment for the building. We work from that document, or help you interpret your inspection report, before quoting.
