FD30 fire doors in Halifax

FD30 fire doors: our service in Halifax

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

Buildings in and around Halifax range from family homes after loft conversions to industrial estates and low-rise blocks of flats. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.

For a mixed portfolio in Halifax, we can survey every FD30 opening in one visit and price leaf-only and doorset options side by side. Each FD30 leaf we supply for Halifax 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:

• Overhead closer set to close and latch
• Intumescent strips and smoke seals to the certification
• Fire-tested hinges, latch or lock and intumescent pads
• Photo record, product data and certificate references at handover

Fire door law for Halifax properties

The rules that apply to fire doors in Halifax 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 Halifax 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.
