Fire safety compliance

Fire Door Compliance

FD30 and FD60 fire door inspections for housing and commercial buildings. We check every door against the standard, flag the defects and tell you exactly what needs putting right.

The standard

What FD30 And FD60 Mean

FD30 and FD60 are ratings for how long a fire door will hold back fire and smoke. FD30 gives 30 minutes of protection and FD60 gives 60 minutes.

A fire door only performs to its rating if every part is right, the door, the frame, the gaps, the seals, the hinges and the closer. One missing intumescent strip or an oversized gap and the rating is lost. Our inspection checks the whole assembly against the standard.

The inspection

What We Check

Every part of the door assembly, checked against the FD30 or FD60 standard.

Frequency and fixes

How Often And What Next

Communal fire doors in higher-risk buildings need checking regularly and flat entrance doors need checking too. We will advise on the right frequency for your building.

Where a door fails, we tell you why and what will fix it, from a simple adjustment to a full replacement. You get a clear, prioritised report so you can plan the remedial work and evidence your compliance. Minor fixes are often cheaper and quicker than people expect.

FAQ

Common Questions

How often should fire doors be checked?
It depends on the building and the type of door. Communal doors in higher-risk blocks need checking regularly and flat entrance doors need checking too. We will advise on the right frequency for you.
What is the difference between FD30 and FD60?
The number is the minutes of fire protection the door is rated to give. FD30 is 30 minutes and FD60 is 60 minutes. The right rating depends on where the door is.
Do you fix the doors as well?
We inspect the doors and report on exactly what needs putting right. We can advise on remediation so you can plan the work, whether that is a small adjustment or a replacement.
What do I get at the end?
A clear, prioritised report on every door, showing what passed, what failed and what needs doing to bring it back to standard.
