FD30 fire doors in Newport (Gwent), done to the evidence
Our FD30 fire doors service covers Newport (Gwent) and the wider Gwent area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Newport (Gwent) has a broad mix of buildings, including care homes, offices and industrial units, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
For a mixed portfolio in Newport (Gwent), 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 Newport (Gwent) 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:
- Certified FD30 or FD30S leaf, or full doorset
- Photo record, product data and certificate references at handover
- Overhead closer set to close and latch
- Frame-to-wall gap sealed with an evidenced material
The regulations behind fire doors in Newport (Gwent)
Because Newport (Gwent) is in Wales, we work to the Building Regulations as they apply in Wales and to the Welsh version of Approved Document B. The responsible person duties under the Fire Safety Order 2005 still apply to workplaces and common parts.
England's fire door checking rules for tall residential buildings do not apply in Wales, so the checking frequency for doors in Newport (Gwent) comes from your fire risk assessment.

Questions from Newport (Gwent)
Do you cover NP20 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Newport (Gwent) including NP20, and nearby towns such as Risca and Cwmbran. The survey and written quote are free.
What happens on a survey in Newport (Gwent)?
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.
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.
