FD30 fire doors in Farnborough

FD30 fire doors for Farnborough buildings

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

Around Farnborough, HMOs, schools and houses with integral garages 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.

For a mixed portfolio in Farnborough, 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 Farnborough 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.

As standard, the work covers:

• Overhead closer set to close and latch
• Survey of the opening, frame and existing ironmongery
• Fire-tested hinges, latch or lock and intumescent pads
• Intumescent strips and smoke seals to the certification
