What FD30 fire doors in Coalville should include
From the LE67 postcode district outwards, we take on FD30 fire doors across Coalville for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Buildings in and around Coalville range from family homes after loft conversions to light industrial buildings and small blocks of flats. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
Each FD30 leaf we supply for Coalville is sized for the opening, rather than trimmed beyond what its certification allows. In Coalville, FD30 doors are the usual choice for escape-route corridors, stairs and kitchen doors where the fire strategy asks for 30 minutes.
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.
Each installation includes:
- Certified FD30 or FD30S leaf, or full doorset
- Overhead closer set to close and latch
- Fire-tested hinges, latch or lock and intumescent pads
- Frame-to-wall gap sealed with an evidenced material
Which fire door rules apply in Coalville?
The rules that apply to fire doors in Coalville are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a Coalville block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.

Questions from Coalville
Do you work in Coalville?
Yes, we take on FD30 fire doors in Coalville and the surrounding area, including Loughborough and Swadlincote. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Coalville 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.
How long does it take to fit an FD30 door?
A leaf into a sound frame is often a few hours. A full doorset including frame removal, fixing, sealing and making good is usually half a day to a day per opening, depending on access and the wall construction.
