A composite fire door is not an upgraded domestic door — it is a completely separate product, tested and certified as a single assembly to hold back flame and smoke for a defined period. Since the tragedies of the last decade and the tightening of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order, the specification and installation of fire doorsets in flats, HMOs and shared residential entrances has moved from a matter of good practice to a legal duty that sits directly on the landlord or building owner.

We install FD30, FD30S and FD60 composite fire doorsets across Cornwall — from single flat-entrance replacements in Truro, Falmouth and Penzance to portfolio-wide upgrades for landlords and letting agents. Every installation carries independent third-party certification (typically BM TRADA Q-Mark, Certifire or IFC-certified assemblies), is installed strictly to the tested method, and hands over with the compliance documentation your Fire Risk Assessor and Building Control officer will ask for.

Fire performance is not the only requirement of a residential front door. Every fire doorset we install is also PAS24:2022 impact-tested against forced entry, fitted with a 3-star Kitemarked anti-snap cylinder and multi-point locking, and finished in the full range of colours, glazing and hardware options the certified assembly supports. Security, style and fire compliance are not trade-offs — they arrive in the same door.

Ratings explained

FD30, FD30S and FD60 — what each rating means.

FD30

30 minutes fire integrity

The tested assembly holds back flame for 30 minutes. The default rating for most single-storey and low-rise flat entrance doors before smoke-seal requirements are added.

FD30S

30 minutes + cold smoke seals

FD30 plus intumescent smoke seals around the door edges to hold back cold smoke as well as flame. The standard specification for flat entrance doors under current Approved Document B guidance.

FD60

60 minutes fire integrity

Double the integrity rating — typically specified in taller multi-storey blocks, larger HMOs, and where a Fire Risk Assessment identifies extended escape times.

Always follow the certified specification from your Fire Risk Assessment or Building Control officer. We do not up-rate or down-rate independently of a formal assessment.

Where required

Properties that typically need a certified fire doorset.

Flats and apartments

Any front door opening onto a shared corridor, stair or common escape route is typically specified as FD30S. Fitted straight-swap into the existing aperture as a complete doorset — slab, frame, seals, closer, hardware and certification.

HMOs (three or more unrelated occupants)

HMO Licensing conditions across Cornwall Council area typically require certified fire doors to bedrooms, kitchens and any door onto a protected escape route. Rating (FD30 vs FD60) is set by the Fire Risk Assessment for that property.

Converted properties

Victorian and Edwardian houses split into flats — very common across Cornwall's town centres — carry the same fire-door duty as purpose-built blocks. The original front door is almost always non-compliant and needs replacement.

Landlord and letting-agent refurbishments

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the 'responsible person' (usually the landlord or managing agent) has a legal duty to maintain fire doors in common parts. Replacement is not optional once a door is identified as non-compliant.

Specification

What every fire doorset we install includes.

Included

Certified doorset

Slab, frame, threshold and hardware supplied and installed as a single tested assembly — never mix-and-matched.

Included

Intumescent seals

Continuous intumescent strip and (on FD30S/FD60) cold-smoke seals along all four edges. Expand under heat to fill the frame gap.

Included

Certified glazing

Where the design includes glass, only the specific fire-rated units listed in the certificate can be used. Georgian bar and obscured options are available.

Included

Overhead or concealed closer

Certified closer to ensure the door returns fully to the frame after every opening — a fire door propped open provides no protection.

Included

3-star anti-snap cylinder

PAS24:2022 security specification is included as standard — Ultion, Brisant Sold Secure Diamond or Yale Platinum cylinder.

Included

Compliance documentation

Manufacturer certificate, installation certificate and photo evidence of the completed doorset — everything your Fire Risk Assessor will ask to see.

Process

How a fire door install runs.

  1. 1. Survey

    Free on-site survey. We check the aperture, note the required rating from your Fire Risk Assessment, and confirm the certified assembly that fits.

  2. 2. Manufacture

    The doorset is ordered against the specific certification. Lead-time is typically 4 to 6 weeks.

  3. 3. Install

    Same-day install (4 to 6 hours). Old door out, aperture prepared, new certified doorset in — strictly to the tested method.

  4. 4. Documentation

    Hand-over with manufacturer certificate, installation certificate and photo evidence — everything you need for your compliance file.
