Fire Door Installation in Leighton Buzzard: questions

What do FD30 and FD60 mean?

They describe how long the door is designed to resist fire in a test: 30 or 60 minutes. An S after the rating, such as FD30S, means the door also controls the passage of cold smoke.

Can you fit a fire door into the existing frame?

Sometimes, if the frame is sound, compatible with the new leaf and the leaf's evidence allows it. Often a complete doorset is cheaper over the door's life and easier to evidence.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Leighton Buzzard?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Leighton Buzzard can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.
