FD30S fire doors in Harwich: how we work
We fit FD30S smoke control doorsets for flats, stairs and corridors in Harwich and the rest of Essex. The process is simple: we survey and measure each opening, propose a certified doorset for it, and give you a fixed price. Fitting is booked once the doorsets are made, usually with no door left out of action overnight.
Our Essex coverage includes Harwich and its neighbours Felixstowe, Ipswich and Clacton-on-Sea; tell us your postcode and preferred dates and we'll confirm a survey slot.
What the law says in Harwich
In Harwich, 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 Essex
How quickly can you survey in Harwich?
We arrange surveys around your access needs and, where possible, combine Harwich visits with other work in Essex. Tell us your preferred dates when you enquire.
Can you fit just one door in Harwich?
Yes — from a single door to a full building. Where possible, small jobs are scheduled alongside other visits in Essex.
Do you remove the old doors?
Yes. Removal and disposal of the old door and frame is included when we replace a doorset in Harwich.
What is the difference between FD30 and FD30S?
Both resist fire for 30 minutes. FD30S also has tested smoke seals that limit cold smoke passing around the leaf before the intumescent strip activates.
