FD20 or FD30?

In England, the guidance generally asks for FD20 (E20) doors in this situation, and self-closers are not usually required within a house. Scotland is different: the domestic Technical Handbook expects doors onto the protected stair enclosure to be self-closing fire doors, so closers are part of the job there. Many homeowners choose FD30 doors anyway, because they are widely available and the price difference is small. Either way, the door must be fitted properly: correct gaps, fire-tested hinges and an intumescent strip where the product requires one.

What you get:

• Frame repairs or new linings where needed
• Fire-tested hinges and intumescent strips as required
• Work coordinated with your builder
• Check of which openings need fire doors
