FD30S fire doors in Canterbury: how we work
Getting FD30S fire doors right in Canterbury means choosing a certified doorset for each opening and fitting it exactly as tested. That's the whole service: survey, schedule, certified doorset, careful installation and the paperwork to prove it.
Canterbury is about 24 miles from Maidstone. Wherever your building is in CT1, we arrange survey and fitting dates around access and occupancy.
Fire door rules in Canterbury
New and replacement fire doors in Canterbury are specified under the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 makes the responsible person keep fire doors in working order, and in residential buildings with a storey above 11 metres regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds quarterly checks of communal doors and annual checks of flat entrance doors.
FD30S fire doors prices in Canterbury
Budget around £800 to £1,250 per single doorset for FD30S fire doors supplied and fitted in Canterbury, excluding VAT. We price each opening separately so nothing is hidden in a lump sum.
The biggest price drivers are leaf size, glazing, finish and ironmongery; upper floors without lifts and restricted parking can also affect fitting cost.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Canterbury?
Yes. We survey, supply and fit FD30S fire doors throughout Canterbury and the rest of Kent, including CT1 and nearby Whitstable.
Which rules do FD30S fire doors in Canterbury need to meet?
They are specified to Approved Document B (England) and your fire risk assessment or fire strategy. We confirm the rating of each door at survey.
Is the survey in Canterbury 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.
