FD30 fire doors in West Bridgford, NG2

FD30 fire doors in West Bridgford: what's involved

From the NG2 postcode district outwards, we take on FD30 fire doors across West Bridgford for homes, blocks and workplaces.

Buildings in and around West Bridgford range from schools to small blocks of flats and small offices. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.

For a mixed portfolio in West Bridgford, 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 West Bridgford 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.

What you get:

• Fire-tested hinges, latch or lock and intumescent pads
• Photo record, product data and certificate references at handover
• Frame-to-wall gap sealed with an evidenced material
• Survey of the opening, frame and existing ironmongery
