FD30 Fire Doorsets for Kent buildings
We supply and fit FD30 fire doors across Kent, including Maidstone, Gillingham and Chatham. Every job starts with a free measure survey and ends with a handover pack listing each certified doorset fitted.
What the law says in Kent
In Kent, 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.
Cost of FD30 fire doors in Kent
Budget around £750 to £1,150 per single doorset for FD30 fire doors supplied and fitted in Kent, excluding VAT. We price each opening separately so nothing is hidden in a lump sum.
The biggest price drivers are leaf size, glazing, finish and ironmongery; upper floors without lifts and restricted parking can also affect fitting cost.
Where FD30 fire doors are needed
Kent's Medway towns, county town of Maidstone and coastal resorts bring a mix of flats, HMOs, hotels and converted seaside buildings.
- Offices and retail back-of-house
- HMO bedrooms and kitchens
- Hotel corridors
- Plant rooms and stores

FD30 fire doors in Kent: questions
Do you remove the old doors?
Yes. Removal and disposal of the old door and frame is included when we replace a doorset.
Will I get certificates for the doors fitted?
Every doorset is listed in your handover pack with the manufacturer's certificate reference, plus an installation record and photos.
Do you cover the whole of Kent?
Yes. We survey, supply and fit FD30 fire doors across Kent, including Maidstone, Gillingham and Chatham.
Does an FD30 door need a self-closer?
Almost always. Fire doors only work closed, so they need a self-closing device unless they are cupboard or riser doors kept locked shut.
