FD30 fire doors for Burngreave buildings
If you need FD30 fire doors in Burngreave, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
In and around Burngreave, fire door work covers everything from light industrial buildings to houses with integral garages. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
In Burngreave, FD30 doors are the usual choice for escape-route corridors, stairs and kitchen doors where the fire strategy asks for 30 minutes. For a mixed portfolio in Burngreave, we can survey every FD30 opening in one visit and price leaf-only and doorset options side by side.
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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Fire-tested hinges, latch or lock and intumescent pads
- Frame-to-wall gap sealed with an evidenced material
- Survey of the opening, frame and existing ironmongery
- Certified FD30 or FD30S leaf, or full doorset
Which fire door rules apply in Burngreave?
The rules that apply to fire doors in Burngreave are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a Burngreave block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.

Questions from Burngreave
Do you work in Burngreave?
Yes, we take on FD30 fire doors in Burngreave and the surrounding area, including Sheffield and Rotherham. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Burngreave building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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.
Can a new FD30 door go into my old frame?
Sometimes. The frame has to be sound, square, securely fixed and compatible with the new leaf's certification. Many older frames are not, especially softwood linings or frames altered for previous doors. We check each frame on the survey and recommend a doorset only where the frame cannot be relied on.
