What FD30 fire doors in Stourport-on-Severn should include
If you need FD30 fire doors in Stourport-on-Severn, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Stourport-on-Severn has a broad mix of buildings, including houses with integral garages, small offices and schools, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Each FD30 leaf we supply for Stourport-on-Severn is sized for the opening, rather than trimmed beyond what its certification allows. In Stourport-on-Severn, 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Survey of the opening, frame and existing ironmongery
- Certified FD30 or FD30S leaf, or full doorset
- Photo record, product data and certificate references at handover
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals to the certification
Which fire door rules apply in Stourport-on-Severn?

Questions from Stourport-on-Severn
Do you work in Stourport-on-Severn?
Yes, we take on FD30 fire doors in Stourport-on-Severn and the surrounding area, including Kidderminster and Droitwich. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Stourport-on-Severn building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
What is the difference between FD30 and FD30S?
FD30S has been tested for smoke control as well as fire. It adds a smoke seal, usually a brush or blade, and needs a tight threshold gap. Flat entrance doors and doors onto protected escape routes are commonly specified as FD30S.
Do FD30 doors need a closer?
Most do. Doors on escape routes, flat entrance doors and doors in the common parts of buildings need a self-closing device that shuts and latches the door. Some doors inside houses and locked riser doors are exceptions, depending on the fire strategy.
