FD30S fire doors in Lancaster: how we work
We fit FD30S smoke control doorsets for flats, stairs and corridors in Lancaster and the rest of Lancashire. 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.
Where possible we combine Lancaster surveys with other visits in Lancashire, such as Morecambe and Fleetwood, which helps keep survey dates flexible.
Regulations for FD30S fire doors in Lancashire
Because Lancaster 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.
Guide prices in Lancaster
Budget around £800 to £1,250 per single doorset for FD30S fire doors supplied and fitted in Lancaster, excluding VAT. We price each opening separately so nothing is hidden in a lump sum.
Each quote covers the certified doorset, standard ironmongery, fitting, removal of the old door and a handover record; anything outside that scope is shown as a separate line before you accept.

Questions about FD30S fire doors in Lancaster
Will I get certificates for the doors fitted in Lancaster?
Every doorset is listed in your handover pack with the manufacturer's certificate reference, plus an installation record and photos.
Is the survey in Lancaster free?
Yes. We measure and schedule your doors at no cost and send a fixed, itemised quote.
Do you remove the old doors?
Yes. Removal and disposal of the old door and frame is included when we replace a doorset in Lancaster.
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.
