Yes. Removal and disposal of the old door and frame is included when we replace a doorset in Harpenden.
Which rules do FD30 fire doors in Harpenden 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.

Only if the manufacturer's evidence allows that frame, which is rare. We normally supply the complete doorset with a new frame so the certification carries through to the finished job.
