FD30S Smoke Control Doorsets for Paignton buildings
Looking for FD30S fire doors in Paignton? Our supply and fit service covers TQ3 and the surrounding area, including Torquay and Newton Abbot. We quote complete doorsets — leaf, frame, seals, hinges and closer — because that is what the fire certification actually covers.
Where possible we combine Paignton surveys with other visits in Devon, such as Torquay and Newton Abbot, which helps keep survey dates flexible.
Which rules apply in Paignton?
Because Paignton 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.

Your questions answered
Do you work for landlords and managing agents in Paignton?
Yes. We can schedule doors flat by flat, send quotes per property and invoice the managing agent or freeholder.
Can you work around tenants or staff in Paignton?
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.
How quickly can you survey in Paignton?
We arrange surveys around your access needs and, where possible, combine Paignton 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.
