Questions about FD30S fire doors in Thatcham
Will I get certificates for the doors fitted in Thatcham?
Every doorset is listed in your handover pack with the manufacturer's certificate reference, plus an installation record and photos.
How quickly can you survey in Thatcham?
We arrange surveys around your access needs and, where possible, combine Thatcham visits with other work in Berkshire. Tell us your preferred dates when you enquire.
Is the survey in Thatcham free?
Yes. We measure and schedule your doors at no cost and send a fixed, itemised quote.
Do smoke seals stop the door closing?
They shouldn't. A properly hung FD30S door closes and latches under its closer. If seals are crushed or the door binds, it needs adjusting — a door that fails to latch is a failed fire door.
