Protecting your building in the event of a fire
E As a person responsible for property, are you aware of your legal obligations under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005?
What does the law say?
The law states that fire rated doors are a legal requirement in all non-domestic buildings. This includes both private and public buildings, such as schools, hospitals, gyms, shops, libraries, office blocks and industrial buildings, to name just a few. Fire doors are also a legal requirement in Houses of Multiple Occupancy (HMOs) and blocks of flats.
Fire rated doors are designed to act as a barrier and prevent fire and smoke from spreading from one area of a building to another. In doing so, fire doors help to keep escape routes clear and assist people in escaping a building unharmed. At J&D Carpentry, we operate throughout East Anglia and specialise in the supply, installation and ongoing maintenance of high-quality, fire rated doors.

Fire rated doors for every building
There is no denying the crucial role that fire doors play in fire safety, but fire doors will only perform in the way the manufacturer intended if they have been fitted in accordance with the manufacture’s installation instructions. It will come as no surprise, therefore, to learn that current fire door regulations stipulate that all fire doors must be installed by a ‘competent person’.
As a reputable company boasting a competent and efficient team of fire door operatives, we are proud to offer a tailored and reliable fire door installation service for our residential and commercial clients.
Fire rated doors come in different ratings - which you require will depend on the type of building you are responsible for and the level of associated risk.
Here at J&D Carpentry, we have both FD30 and FD60 rated internal and external doors available. Our doors are constructed from a variety of fire-resistant materials, such as steel, wood and glass, to complement any style of property.
If you are in need of an external, fire rated door for a residential property, you will be pleased to learn that we have a range of composite doors in a variety of colours, making them the perfect choice for a flat or apartment. For buildings that require extra security and durability, then our steel fire rated doors are a perfect fit.
No matter the design you are seeking, you can rest assured that all our doors have been tested and certified to British Standards to keep people, premises and possessions safe.
Fully trained and accredited fire door operatives
As with any other structure, fire doors can suffer the effects of wear and tear over time. Following the installation of your new doors, we offer a maintenance service going forward to ensure that your doors remain fully operational and safe. We are BM Trada Q-mark maintenance accredited and can maintain your fire doors, even if we didn’t install them originally.
To discover our range of fire rated doors and to discuss your installation and/or maintenance requirements with one of the team, please give us a call today on 01603 552627.
