FD30 fire doors in Brighouse

FD30 fire doors: our service in Brighouse

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

Brighouse has a broad mix of buildings, including houses with integral garages, care homes and family homes after loft conversions, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.

In Brighouse, 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 Brighouse, 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.

Each installation includes:

• Frame-to-wall gap sealed with an evidenced material
• Overhead closer set to close and latch
• Fire-tested hinges, latch or lock and intumescent pads
• Survey of the opening, frame and existing ironmongery

In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.
