FD30 and FD60 Fire Doors Installed for Real-World Compliance

Fire doors only work if they are installed properly. Even a certified door leaf can fail if the frame, seals, gaps, or ironmongery are wrong. That’s why fire door installation is now closely examined during inspections, particularly in residential buildings.

We provide fire door installation services across London and Luton, supplying and fitting FD30 and FD60 fire doors for both commercial and residential properties. All installations are carried out with attention to tested performance, building use, and current fire safety requirements.

Fire Safety Legislation and Standards

Fire door installation is carried out with reference to current fire safety legislation and guidance, including:

  • Fire Safety Act 2021 (in force from 2022)
  • Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005
  • BS 8214 – Code of practice for fire door assemblies
  • BS EN 1634-1 – Fire resistance testing of door assemblies
  • Approved Document B – Fire safety guidance

Where required, installation is coordinated with the findings of the building’s Fire Risk Assessment.

How Fire Doors Are Installed

Our fire doors are installed with careful attention to the full assembly, including:

  • Door leaf and frame compatibility
  • Correct fixing methods and tolerances
  • Intumescent and smoke seals
  • Hinges, closers, locks, and ironmongery
  • Gaps, alignment, and closing action

Installation follows recognised guidance such as BS 8214 and manufacturer instructions linked to the door’s fire test evidence. This ensures the door performs as intended in a fire.

Types of Fire Doors We Install

Fire doors are not one-size-fits-all. The type of door installed depends on the level of fire resistance required and where the door is located.

We commonly install:

  • FD30 fire doors (30-minute fire resistance)
  • FD60 fire doors (60-minute fire resistance)

These are used for both internal fire doors and external fire doors, depending on the building design and fire strategy.

Fire Door Maintenance and Inspections

Installation alone isn’t enough — regular inspection and maintenance are required to remain compliant. According to BS 8214 and the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, fire doors should be inspected every 6 months in residential settings and at least every 3 months in high-traffic commercial areas.

Our maintenance service includes checking:

  • Door closure and latch operation
  • Integrity of intumescent and smoke seals
  • Correct alignment and gap tolerances (2–4 mm)
  • Hinge and hardware condition
  • Visibility of signage and certification labels

We record every inspection in a fire door logbook, ensuring full traceability and compliance with Article 17 of the Fire Safety Order 2005.

Flat Entrance and Timber Fire Doors

A large proportion of our work involves flat entrance fire doors, particularly in blocks of flats and converted residential buildings. These doors play a critical role in compartmentation and must be installed correctly to protect both occupants and escape routes.

We regularly install:

  • Flat main entrance fire doors
  • Timber fire doors for internal communal areas
  • Fire doors to stairwells and protected routes

Each door is fitted as a complete door set, not just a door leaf, to ensure the tested fire performance is maintained.

Our fire door installation services are used in:

  • Blocks of flats and residential buildings
  • HMOs and shared accommodation
  • Commercial premises and offices
  • Mixed-use developments
  • Care, supported living, and student accommodation

Each installation is based on how the building is actually used, not generic assumptions

FAQs

Fire doors are designed to contain fire and smoke within a specific area, allowing safe evacuation and protecting the structure until emergency services arrive.
