FD30 fire doors in Egham

FD30 fire doors in Egham: what's involved

When you book FD30 fire doors in Egham, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.

Egham has a broad mix of buildings, including small offices, schools and family homes after loft conversions, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.

Each FD30 leaf we supply for Egham is sized for the opening, rather than trimmed beyond what its certification allows. In Egham, FD30 doors are the usual choice for escape-route corridors, stairs and kitchen doors where the fire strategy asks for 30 minutes.

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
• Survey of the opening, frame and existing ironmongery
• Certified FD30 or FD30S leaf, or full doorset
• Intumescent strips and smoke seals to the certification

Rules and responsibilities in Egham

In Egham, 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 Egham 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.
