FD30 fire doors in Worcester, WR1

FD30 fire doors for Worcester buildings

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

Fire doors in Worcester protect escape routes in purpose-built flats, HMOs and offices alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.

For a mixed portfolio in Worcester, 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 Worcester is sized for the opening, rather than trimmed beyond what its certification allows.

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:

• Intumescent strips and smoke seals to the certification
• Overhead closer set to close and latch
• Frame-to-wall gap sealed with an evidenced material
• Fire-tested hinges, latch or lock and intumescent pads
