FD30 fire doors in Yeovil, done to the evidence
Our FD30 fire doors service covers Yeovil and the wider Somerset area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Buildings in and around Yeovil range from HMOs to houses with integral garages and family homes after loft conversions. 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 Yeovil, 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 Yeovil 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:
- Certified FD30 or FD30S leaf, or full doorset
- Overhead closer set to close and latch
- Frame-to-wall gap sealed with an evidenced material
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals to the certification
The regulations behind fire doors in Yeovil
In Yeovil, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Yeovil building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.
Where FD30 fire doors fit in Yeovil
From blocks of flats to shops, the requirement for FD30 fire doors in Yeovil comes from the fire strategy or risk assessment for the building. We work from that document, or help you interpret your inspection report, before quoting.

Questions from Yeovil
Is Yeovil within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Yeovil in Somerset and neighbouring towns such as Bridgwater. There is no charge for the survey.
What happens on a survey in Yeovil?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
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.
What is the difference between FD30 and FD30S?
FD30S has been tested for smoke control as well as fire. It adds a smoke seal, usually a brush or blade, and needs a tight threshold gap. Flat entrance doors and doors onto protected escape routes are commonly specified as FD30S.
