FD30 fire doors in Bradford

FD30 fire doors in Bradford, done to the evidence

For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Bradford, we offer FD30 fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.

Bradford has a broad mix of buildings, including shared houses, restaurants and converted flats, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.

In Bradford, FD30 doors are the usual choice for escape-route corridors, stairs and kitchen doors where the fire strategy asks for 30 minutes. Each FD30 leaf we supply for Bradford is sized for the opening, rather than trimmed beyond what its certification allows.

Where are FD30 doors used?

FD30 is the rating most buildings rely on. You will find it on flat entrance doors, doors onto escape corridors and stairs in houses in multiple occupation, kitchen doors in HMOs, and most internal doors on escape routes in offices, schools, surgeries and shops. Where smoke control matters too, the door is specified as FD30S (E30Sa), which adds a smoke seal and a tighter threshold.

The rating your building needs comes from its fire strategy or fire risk assessment, not from the door supplier. If you are unsure whether a door should be FD30 or FD60, we check the drawings, the risk assessment and what is installed now before we price anything. Our FD30 vs FD60 guide explains the difference.

What you get:

• Intumescent strips and smoke seals to the certification
• Photo record, product data and certificate references at handover
• Frame-to-wall gap sealed with an evidenced material
• Overhead closer set to close and latch

The regulations behind fire doors in Bradford

The rules that apply to fire doors in Bradford 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 Bradford 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.
