Getting FD30S fire doors fitted in Ipswich
We fit FD30S smoke control doorsets for flats, stairs and corridors in Ipswich and the rest of Suffolk. 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.
Surveys in Ipswich are booked around your access needs, and we cover the wider Suffolk area too.

Questions about FD30S fire doors in Ipswich
Can you fit just one door in Ipswich?
Yes — from a single door to a full building. Where possible, small jobs are scheduled alongside other visits in Suffolk.
Will I get certificates for the doors fitted in Ipswich?
Every doorset is listed in your handover pack with the manufacturer's certificate reference, plus an installation record and photos.
Do you remove the old doors?
Yes. Removal and disposal of the old door and frame is included when we replace a doorset in Ipswich.
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.
