Fire Door Installation in Sudbury

Whether it is a block of flats, a school or a care home in Sudbury, our fire door installations follow the same door-by-door method and report format.

In short: fire door installation is the supply and fitting of a fire-resisting door, ideally as a complete doorset of leaf, frame, seals and hardware, installed exactly as its test evidence and the manufacturer's instructions require, so the finished door performs as tested.

Questions from Sudbury clients

Do you cover the area around Sudbury?

Yes. As well as Sudbury itself we cover nearby towns including Colchester, Haverhill and Braintree.

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 Sudbury?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Sudbury is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.

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.
