FD30 fire doors in Whitehaven: how we work
Looking for FD30 fire doors in Whitehaven? Our supply and fit service covers CA28 and the surrounding area, including Workington and Barrow-in-Furness. We quote complete doorsets — leaf, frame, seals, hinges and closer — because that is what the fire certification actually covers.
Whether your building is in central Whitehaven or on its edges towards Workington, survey and fitting dates are arranged around your access needs, with occupied buildings worked in planned phases.
What the law says in Whitehaven

Higher-risk buildings — 18 metres or seven storeys with two or more homes — also come under the Building Safety Act 2022.

Questions about FD30 fire doors in Whitehaven
Do you work for landlords and managing agents in Whitehaven?
Yes. We can schedule doors flat by flat, send quotes per property and invoice the managing agent or freeholder.
What does a Whitehaven quote include?
Survey, certified doorset, ironmongery, installation, removal of old doors and a handover pack. VAT is added at the standard rate.
Can you work around tenants or staff in Whitehaven?
Yes. We phase work in occupied buildings and keep escape routes available. Each door is planned to be removed and replaced the same day; if that isn't possible, the opening is made secure and we tell you in advance.
Is FD30 the same as E30?
Broadly, yes. FD30 comes from the British test (BS 476-22); E30 is the European classification from BS EN 1634-1. Both mean 30 minutes of integrity. EI30 adds insulation, which some locations and glazed doors need.
