FD30 fire doors in Canterbury: how we work
For landlords, managing agents, businesses and homeowners in Canterbury, we provide FD30 doorsets for flats, offices, HMOs and corridors with one fixed quote. A free survey comes first, then a door-by-door schedule, then installation to the manufacturer's instructions and a handover pack for your records.
Canterbury is about 24 miles from Maidstone; we cover both, along with Whitstable, Herne Bay and Faversham.
Regulations for FD30 fire doors in Kent
New and replacement fire doors in Canterbury are specified under the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 makes the responsible person keep fire doors in working order, and in residential buildings with a storey above 11 metres regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds quarterly checks of communal doors and annual checks of flat entrance doors.
What do FD30 fire doors cost in Canterbury?
Budget around £750 to £1,150 per single doorset for FD30 fire doors supplied and fitted in Canterbury, 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.

FD30 fire doors in Canterbury: questions
What does a Canterbury quote include?
Survey, certified doorset, ironmongery, installation, removal of old doors and a handover pack. VAT is added at the standard rate.
Which rules do FD30 fire doors in Canterbury 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.
Can you work around tenants or staff in Canterbury?
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.
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.
