Which rules apply in Southampton?

In Southampton, as across England, Approved Document B governs new work and the Fire Safety Order 2005 governs existing premises. Note that Approved Document B is removing the BS 476 fire-resistance test references on 2 September 2029, so specifications are moving to EN classifications such as E30 Sa.

Questions about FD30 fire doors in Southampton

Do you remove the old doors?

Yes. Removal and disposal of the old door and frame is included when we replace a doorset in Southampton.

Which rules do FD30 fire doors in Southampton need to meet?

They are specified to Approved Document B (England) and your fire risk assessment or fire strategy. We confirm the rating of each door at survey.

Do you cover Southampton?

Yes. We survey, supply and fit FD30 fire doors throughout Southampton and the rest of Hampshire, including SO14 and nearby Hythe.

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.
