FD30 fire door installation in Melton Mowbray

FD30 fire doors in Melton Mowbray, done to the evidence

For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Melton Mowbray, we offer FD30 fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.

Around Melton Mowbray, schools, light industrial buildings and care homes 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 Melton Mowbray, 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 Melton Mowbray 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
• Overhead closer set to close and latch
• Survey of the opening, frame and existing ironmongery
• Certified FD30 or FD30S leaf, or full doorset
