Fire Door Installation in Leicestershire: questions
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.
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.
Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Leicestershire?
Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Leicestershire is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.
How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Leicestershire?
It depends on the number of doors and access. Tell us what you need and we will give you the earliest date when you call, and confirm it in writing.
