FD30 fire doors in Norwich, NR1

FD30 fire doors for Norwich buildings

Looking for FD30 fire doors in Norwich? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Norwich and the wider Norfolk area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.

In and around Norwich, fire door work covers everything from care homes to offices. We plan each job around the people who use the building.

In Norwich, FD30 doors are the usual choice for escape-route corridors, stairs and kitchen doors where the fire strategy asks for 30 minutes. Each FD30 leaf we supply for Norwich 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.

As standard, the work covers:

• 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
• Photo record, product data and certificate references at handover

What the rules say for Norwich

Fire doors in Norwich fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.

Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.
