FD30 fire doors in Tonbridge: how we work
Fire Rated Doors supplies and fits FD30 fire doors in Tonbridge, Kent. Whether it's a single replacement or every door in a block, we start by surveying the openings and end with a handover pack listing each doorset and its certificate reference.
Where possible we combine Tonbridge surveys with other visits in Kent, such as Tunbridge Wells and Sevenoaks, which helps keep survey dates flexible.
Which rules apply in Tonbridge?
Because Tonbridge is in England, the starting point is Approved Document B for the specification and the Fire Safety Order 2005 for ongoing duties. Blocks with a storey above 11 metres also fall under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: communal fire doors checked at least every three months, flat front doors at least every year.

Common questions in Kent
Can you work around tenants or staff in Tonbridge?
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.
Can you fit just one door in Tonbridge?
Yes — from a single door to a full building. Where possible, small jobs are scheduled alongside other visits in Kent.
Is the survey in Tonbridge free?
Yes. We measure and schedule your doors at no cost and send a fixed, itemised quote.
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.
