Questions about FD30S fire doors in Rochester
What does a Rochester quote include?
Survey, certified doorset, ironmongery, installation, removal of old doors and a handover pack. VAT is added at the standard rate.
Can you fit just one door in Rochester?
Yes — from a single door to a full building. Where possible, small jobs are scheduled alongside other visits in Kent.
Which rules do FD30S fire doors in Rochester 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.
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.
