Fire doors: A legal requirement
Fire doors are a mandatory safety measure under UK law for all premises used for non-domestic purposes. This requirement applies to various private and public buildings, including schools, hospitals, gyms, shops, libraries, office blocks and industrial facilities, to list just a few.
They are also a legal requirement in Houses of Multiple Occupancy (HMOs) and blocks of flats. Designed to prevent the spread of fire and smoke, fire doors play a critical role in keeping escape routes clear. By containing a fire to one specific area of a building, people can be afforded vital time to exit the building safely. At J&D Carpentry, we proudly serve clients throughout East Anglia with a complete range of high-quality fire-rated doors, including FD30 and FD60 models.
How much each fire door costs very much depends on what is required and the level of associated risk. Our services include not just the supply and installation of quality fire doors, but also ongoing maintenance of fire doors to ensure that they remain in full working order. With our expertise, you can trust us to deliver durable, compliant, and visually appealing solutions that exceed your expectation.

A door for all non-domestic premises
Fire doors are an essential component of fire safety, providing a critical barrier to stop the spread of fire and smoke. However, a fire door will only perform effectively if it has been installed correctly and according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
To ensure compliance and safety, current fire door regulations require that installation be carried out by a qualified and “competent person.” As competent fire door operatives, we pride ourselves on offering a professional fire door installation service that is carefully tailored to the specific needs of each client. Fire doors come with different ratings, such as FD30 and FD60, indicating the level of fire resistance they can be expected to provide. The type of door most suited to your premises will depend on a number of factors that we will discuss with you during our site visit.
You may be surprised to learn that fire doors are available in different designs and styles to cater for your aesthetic needs.
Here at J&D Carpentry, we supply internal and external fire doors that have been constructed from steel, wood, glass, or a combination of these fire-resistant materials, enabling you to find the perfect fit for your building. What’s more, all our fire doors are rigorously tested and certified to British Standards, ensuring maximum protection for people, property, and belongings.
