Doors are installed strictly to the manufacturer's installation manual, with the correct intumescent and smoke seals, third-party certified ironmongery, and frame fixings at the centres the certification requires. ### Who It's For Managing agents, RMCs, freeholders, housing associations, commercial landlords and care providers responsible for a building's fire-safety case. We work alongside your fire risk assessor, building safety manager or principal accountable person: and direct with private leaseholders where the lease permits. ### When You Need It Triggered by an FRA action, a failed inspection, a planned replacement programme, a re-clad or refurbishment, or the loss of certification on an older door set. Also where the previous installer cannot evidence certification, under the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 the door must be evidenced, not just present. ### Why It Matters An FD30 set is a system, not a slab. The door, frame, intumescent, seals, hinges, closer and lock have to be a certified combination, installed to the manual, with the gap tolerances and fixing centres the test report specifies. Get any one of those wrong and the certification doesn't apply, even if the components on the door are individually rated. What Happens If You Wait ## The Cost Of Doing Nothing. Non-compliant fire doors are the most common item on a UK block FRA action list. The risk isn't usually a missing door: it's a door that looks right but can't be evidenced, was modified on site, or was installed by a generalist who didn't follow the manufacturer's instructions. Under the Building Safety Act and the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order, the accountable person has to demonstrate that every fire door is fit for purpose, every quarter in higher-risk buildings. ### Risks Of Ignoring It - → Enforcement action from the local Fire & Rescue Service: improvement or prohibition notices on the building. - → Personal liability for the responsible person under Article 32 of the Fire Safety Order, including criminal sanctions. - → Buildings insurance loaded or refused following a non-compliant FRA: premium increases passed straight to leaseholders. - → EWS1 / building safety case challenged on remortgage, blocking flat sales and trapping leaseholders. - → In the worst case, compartment failure during a fire: smoke spread through the very door designed to stop it. ### Common Mistakes Customers Make - × Buying on price from a generalist joiner: fire-door sets are a certified system, not interchangeable parts. - × Accepting a 'fire-rated door' with no certification reference, install record, or photographic evidence. - × Re-hanging an old leaf into a new frame, the certification only applies to the combination tested. - × Letting site trades trim, plane or rebate a fire door: any modification voids certification. - × Skipping the door pack: without traceable batch numbers, the door cannot be evidenced to a building safety case. Our Process ## First Call To Final Sign-Off. 01 ### Inspection Site visit at an agreed access window: measurements, photographs, scope and constraints recorded against your reference. 02 ### Diagnosis Findings written up against the standard, BS or building safety case clause they relate to, with severity and priority assigned. 03 ### Proposal Itemised quote, programme, RAMS and product/competency evidence: sent to the distribution list you nominate. 04 ### Works On Site Tidy, resident-aware delivery. Dust control, drop sheets, daily clear-up and notified working hours. One named lead on site. 05 ### Sign-Off & Handover Photographic completion pack, certificates and product traceability documents supplied for your file. Why It's Worth It ## What You Actually Get. ### Same-Week Quotes Most fire-door surveys quoted within 48 working hours of the visit, with a clear lead-time on the door set itself. ### Compartment Safety, Evidenced Every set installed to its certified configuration with photographic install records, not just a door fitted, but a door you can prove. ### Long-Life Hardware Third-party certified hinges, closers and locks rated to the same standard as the leaf, the assembly lasts as long as the cert says it will. ### Predictable Long-Term Cost Properly installed FD30s should run a 10–15 year service life with planned inspections: far cheaper than rectifying a non-compliant install twice. ### Reliable Resident Experience Self-closing, smooth-operating doors that residents don't wedge open, because doors that work get used correctly. ### Peace Of Mind For The Responsible Person A door pack and photographic record that drops straight into the building safety case: auditable, defensible, complete.

Working across Bournemouth · Poole · Christchurch · Wimborne Minster · Ferndown · Blandford Forum · Dorchester [Full Service Area Map](/service-areas) ### FD30, FD30s and FD60: what the rating actually means FD30 is a 30-minute integrity rating against a standardised fire curve, tested to BS 476-22 or BS EN 1634-1. The 's' suffix adds smoke-seal performance: required for every flat entrance door in a block of flats under approved Document B. FD60 doubles the integrity period and is typical at stair-core entries, plant rooms and high-risk separations. We install all three configurations as complete certified sets. ### Flat entrance doors, the most common job we do FEDs in purpose-built blocks are the highest-volume fire door we install. Standard configuration is a 44mm or 54mm FD30s leaf, certified frame with intumescent rebate, three CE-marked hinges, an overhead closer (typically Geze, Briton or Dorma), a multi-point lock or thumbturn cylinder, intumescent and smoke brush seals and the leaseholder-side spy hole correctly fire-rated. Each is supplied with a door pack including the certificate reference, batch number and photographic install record. ### Communal & corridor doors Cross-corridor and lobby doors usually run as paired FD30s sets with magnetic hold-open releases linked to the alarm panel, so the door is open in normal use but closes on activation. We install with the correct floor tolerance, vision panels fire-rated to match the leaf, and signage compliant with BS 5499. ### Riser & cupboard doors Service riser doors are easy to overlook and easy to fail. They protect vertical service penetrations and are typically FD30 or FD60 depending on the riser contents. We install with intumescent collars compatible with the fire-stopping inside, and label clearly so they aren't mistaken for storage. ### Ironmongery: third-party certification matters Hinges to CE Grade 13 with the relevant fire test, closers to BS EN 1154 power-size 3 minimum, locks third-party certified for fire-door use. We don't fit ironmongery without a certification reference, because a £4 hinge can void a £900 door set. ### Residential vs commercial differences Commercial fire doors often need higher-frequency closers, anti-ligature ironmongery in healthcare settings, or access-controlled electric strikes integrated with the fire-alarm fail-safe. We scope these at survey and supply the correct fail-safe / fail-secure configuration to match your building's emergency strategy. ### What gets handed over on completion A door pack per leaf: certificate reference, batch number, install photographs (hinge fixings, frame fixings, gap measurements, intumescent line, closer model), ironmongery schedule and signed install declaration. This is what your FRA, freeholder and insurer want to see. Questions ## Straight Answers. Cost, timeline, documentation, lifespan, availability: the questions everyone asks, answered before you call. [Ask Yours](/contact) ### How much does a flat-entrance fire door cost installed in Bournemouth? + An FD30s flat-entrance set typically lands between £950 and £1,450 supplied and installed, depending on leaf finish (paint-grade, veneer, laminate), ironmongery spec and any frame remediation. A site survey is required for an exact figure: we don't quote sight-unseen on safety-critical work. ### How long does it take to install a fire door? + A straight swap of a flat-entrance set is typically a 4-6 hour job per door for a two-person team. A 50-door block programme is usually run as 6-10 doors per week to keep resident disruption manageable. Survey-to-install lead time runs 3-6 weeks on standard leaves, longer on bespoke veneers. ### Do you supply the door pack and certificate? + Yes: every leaf is handed over with a door pack including the manufacturer certificate reference, batch number, install photographs, ironmongery schedule and signed install declaration. This is what your fire risk assessor and building safety case need. ### Can you install while the building stays occupied? + Yes: almost all of our fire-door work is in occupied blocks. We schedule around resident access windows, give 48-72 hours' notice to flats, dust-sheet routes and leave the property secure overnight if a multi-day install runs over. ### What documentation do you provide with a fire-door installation? + Every leaf is handed over with a door pack: manufacturer certificate reference, batch number, install photographs, ironmongery schedule and signed install declaration. Provided the door isn't subsequently modified by another trade, the manufacturer's certification is retained for the rated life of the assembly. ### What's the difference between FD30 and FD30s? + FD30 is a 30-minute integrity rating against fire. FD30s adds smoke seals, typically a brush seal in the head and stiles. Every flat-entrance door in a UK block of flats now requires the 's' rating under Approved Document B. ### Do you offer emergency or out-of-hours fire-door installs? + No: Novopro does not currently offer out-of-hours or emergency call-outs. Break-in repairs and forced-entry remediation are scheduled promptly within our working hours (8:00am to 4:30pm, seven days a week). ### What areas do you cover for fire door installation? + Bournemouth, Poole, Christchurch, Wimborne, Ferndown, Blandford, Dorchester, Weymouth: and across Hampshire as far east as Portsmouth and Southampton on managing-agent contracts. Out-of-area projects considered for portfolios. ### Do you replace just the door, or the frame too? + Both are usually required. A certified leaf only carries its rating when hung in its certified frame to the manufacturer's manual. We supply matched leaf-and-frame sets as standard: frame-only retention is only acceptable where the existing frame already carries equivalent certification.
