Fire door rules in Bideford
In Bideford, 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.

Common questions in Devon
Is the survey in Bideford free?
Yes. We measure and schedule your doors at no cost and send a fixed, itemised quote.
Do you cover Bideford?
Yes. We survey, supply and fit FD30S fire doors throughout Bideford and the rest of Devon, including EX39 and nearby Barnstaple.
How quickly can you survey in Bideford?
We arrange surveys around your access needs and, where possible, combine Bideford visits with other work in Devon. Tell us your preferred dates when you enquire.
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.
