FD30 fire doors in Pudsey

FD30 fire doors for Pudsey buildings

Our FD30 fire doors service covers Pudsey and the wider West Yorkshire area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.

Around Pudsey, small blocks of flats, care homes and small offices 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 Pudsey is sized for the opening, rather than trimmed beyond what its certification allows. In Pudsey, FD30 doors are the usual choice for escape-route corridors, stairs and kitchen doors where the fire strategy asks for 30 minutes.

What does a correct FD30 installation include?

A typical timber FD30 leaf is around 44mm thick and hangs on at least three fire-tested hinges. The gaps between leaf and frame are set to the manufacturer's data, usually around 3mm. Intumescent strips, and smoke seals where needed, go in the frame or leaf edge as specified. The closer must pull the door shut and latch it from any angle. Every hole cut for a lock, latch or hinge is lined with intumescent material where the certification calls for it.

Then comes the part that is often skipped: sealing the gap between the frame and the wall with a tested material, as BS 8214:2026 now sets out in more detail.

Each installation includes:

• Overhead closer set to close and latch
• Fire-tested hinges, latch or lock and intumescent pads
• Survey of the opening, frame and existing ironmongery
• Photo record, product data and certificate references at handover

Fire door law for Pudsey properties

In Pudsey, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet.

Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Pudsey building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.

Who needs FD30 fire doors in Pudsey?
