FD30 fire doors in East Grinstead, RH19

FD30 fire doors in East Grinstead, done to the evidence

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

Around East Grinstead, light industrial buildings, schools and houses with integral garages 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.

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

What you get:

• Fire-tested hinges, latch or lock and intumescent pads
• Survey of the opening, frame and existing ironmongery
• Overhead closer set to close and latch
• Certified FD30 or FD30S leaf, or full doorset

Which fire door rules apply in East Grinstead?

The rules that apply to fire doors in East Grinstead are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.

Where a East Grinstead block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.
