FD30 fire doors in Worksop, done to the evidence
Our FD30 fire doors service covers Worksop and the wider Nottinghamshire area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Fire doors in Worksop protect escape routes in schools, family homes after loft conversions and small offices alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
In Worksop, 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 Worksop 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:
- Survey of the opening, frame and existing ironmongery
- Photo record, product data and certificate references at handover
- Frame-to-wall gap sealed with an evidenced material
- Certified FD30 or FD30S leaf, or full doorset

Questions from Worksop
Is Worksop within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Worksop in Nottinghamshire and neighbouring towns such as Retford. There is no charge for the survey.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
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.
