Questions about FD30 fire doors in Folkestone

Can you work around tenants or staff in Folkestone?

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.

Do you cover Folkestone?

Yes. We survey, supply and fit FD30 fire doors throughout Folkestone and the rest of Kent, including CT20 and nearby Dover.

Do you remove the old doors?

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

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.
