FD30 fire doors in Warwick

FD30 fire doors in Warwick, done to the evidence

Our FD30 fire doors service in Warwick is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.

In and around Warwick, fire door work covers everything from houses with integral garages to schools. We plan each job around the people who use the building.

In Warwick, 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 Warwick, 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.

Each installation includes:

• Survey of the opening, frame and existing ironmongery
• Fire-tested hinges, latch or lock and intumescent pads
• Photo record, product data and certificate references at handover
• Intumescent strips and smoke seals to the certification
