FD30 fire doors in Washwood Heath

What FD30 fire doors in Washwood Heath should include

Looking for FD30 fire doors in Washwood Heath? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Washwood Heath and the wider West Midlands area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.

Fire doors in Washwood Heath protect escape routes in family homes after loft conversions, small offices and houses with integral garages alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.

In Washwood Heath, 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 Washwood Heath, 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.

What you get:

• Photo record, product data and certificate references at handover
• Frame-to-wall gap sealed with an evidenced material
• Survey of the opening, frame and existing ironmongery
• Intumescent strips and smoke seals to the certification
