FD30 fire doors in Gorseinon

FD30 fire doors in Gorseinon, done to the evidence

Our FD30 fire doors service covers Gorseinon and the wider West Glamorgan area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.

Gorseinon has a broad mix of buildings, including small offices, light industrial buildings and houses with integral garages, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.

Each FD30 leaf we supply for Gorseinon is sized for the opening, rather than trimmed beyond what its certification allows. In Gorseinon, 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:

• Frame-to-wall gap sealed with an evidenced material
• Fire-tested hinges, latch or lock and intumescent pads
• Photo record, product data and certificate references at handover
• Survey of the opening, frame and existing ironmongery

What the rules say for Gorseinon

Gorseinon is in Wales, where new and replacement fire doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 as applied in Wales, with the Welsh Approved Document B as guidance. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 also applies, so responsible persons in workplaces and the common parts of blocks must keep fire doors maintained.

One difference from England: regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, with its quarterly and annual fire door checks, does not apply in Wales. Your fire risk assessment sets the checking regime instead, and we work to it.

Who needs FD30 fire doors in Gorseinon?

From schools to blocks of flats, the requirement for FD30 fire doors in Gorseinon 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.
