FD30 fire doors in Neath

FD30 fire doors in Neath, done to the evidence

If you need FD30 fire doors in Neath, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.

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

Each FD30 leaf we supply for Neath is sized for the opening, rather than trimmed beyond what its certification allows. In Neath, 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
• Intumescent strips and smoke seals to the certification
• Survey of the opening, frame and existing ironmongery
• Photo record, product data and certificate references at handover

The regulations behind fire doors in Neath

Because Neath is in Wales, we work to the Building Regulations as they apply in Wales and to the Welsh version of Approved Document B. The responsible person duties under the Fire Safety Order 2005 still apply to workplaces and common parts.

England's fire door checking rules for tall residential buildings do not apply in Wales, so the checking frequency for doors in Neath comes from your fire risk assessment.

Which buildings in Neath need FD30 fire doors?
