FD30 fire doors in Kenilworth

FD30 fire doors in Kenilworth: what's involved

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

Around Kenilworth, care homes, small offices and light industrial buildings all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.

For a mixed portfolio in Kenilworth, 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 Kenilworth 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
• Fire-tested hinges, latch or lock and intumescent pads
• Certified FD30 or FD30S leaf, or full doorset
• Overhead closer set to close and latch

Fire door law for Kenilworth properties

England's framework applies in Kenilworth. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.

For blocks over 11 metres in Kenilworth, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.

Which buildings in Kenilworth need FD30 fire doors?

Typical settings for FD30 fire doors include HMOs, blocks of flats and offices. In Kenilworth, as anywhere, the duty holder varies: a responsible person for a workplace, a landlord or managing agent for a block or HMO, or a homeowner after building work. We adjust access, timing and paperwork to suit whoever commissions the work.
