Why Fire Doors Are Essential for Building Safety

Fire doors play a vital role in a building’s passive fire protection strategy. Designed to resist the spread of fire and smoke, they help protect escape routes, maintain compartmentation and provide valuable time for occupants to evacuate safely during an emergency.

At Thameside Fire Protection, we supply, install and maintain a wide range of certified fire door solutions, including timber fire doors, steel fire doors, glazed fire doors and double fire doors. Our doors can be fitted with specialist features such as automatic closing devices, intumescent seals and compliant fire safety signage to meet the requirements of different environments.

Whether you’re responsible for an office, warehouse, residential building, healthcare facility or educational setting, correctly specified and maintained fire doors are essential for protecting people, property and business continuity. Our experienced team works with clients across the UK to deliver compliant fire door solutions tailored to their fire safety requirements.

Intumescent products

Though intumescent products remain passive in normal temperature conditions, they come to life in the extreme heat of a fire, swelling to fill gaps and preventing the passage of smoke and hot gases. If you’re looking for high-quality intumescent products to complement your existing active fire systems, then look no further than Thameside Fire Protection. We have all the supplies you need to help ensure your building’s fire resistance, including:

  • Fire pillows and pads
  • Pipe wraps and collars
  • RSB
  • Fire barriers
  • Passive board
  • Acrylic sealant
  • Fire compound
  • Door seals
  • Downlight covers and fire hoods
  • Electrical socket inserts and covers
  • Air transfer grilles

Supply & Installation of Certified Fire Doors

We supply and install FD30 and FD60 rated fire doors across commercial, industrial and residential buildings. All doors, frames and hardware are third-party certified and fitted by trained installers to ensure the integrity of your fire compartmentation.

Fire doors are designed to resist the spread of fire and smoke, helping to protect escape routes and provide occupants with valuable time to evacuate safely. As a critical component of passive fire protection, correctly specified and installed fire doors play an important role in maintaining compliance with fire safety regulations.

Our range includes timber fire doors, steel fire doors, glazed fire doors and double fire doors, with options for automatic closing devices, intumescent seals and compliant fire safety signage. Every installation is tailored to the requirements of the building, ensuring the fire door assembly performs as intended in the event of a fire.

Whether you’re managing an office, warehouse, apartment block, healthcare facility or educational setting, our experienced team can provide certified fire door solutions designed to enhance safety, support compliance and protect people and property.

Frequently asked questions

How often should fire doors be inspected?

Fire doors should be inspected regularly to ensure they remain in good condition and continue to provide effective fire resistance. Inspection frequency depends on building type, occupancy and fire risk.

What is the difference between FD30 and FD60 fire doors?

FD30 fire doors are designed to provide at least 30 minutes of fire resistance, while FD60 fire doors provide at least 60 minutes when installed correctly as part of a certified fire door assembly.

Are fire door inspections a legal requirement?

Responsible persons must ensure fire safety measures are maintained. Regular fire door inspections help demonstrate compliance with fire safety legislation and identify defects before they become safety risks.

Can damaged fire doors be repaired?

Many fire door defects can be repaired, depending on the condition of the door and whether suitable certified components are available. Where repair is not possible, replacement may be required.

What is included in a fire door survey?

A fire door survey typically assesses the door leaf, frame, hinges, seals, glazing, signage, self-closing devices and associated ironmongery to determine compliance and identify any remedial works required.
