Fire Doors in Cambridge

Cambridge combines historic college buildings, Victorian terraces, and modern student blocks into a diverse housing stock. Mandatory HMO licensing covers qualifying properties, with FD30 fire doors required at every bedroom and habitable room entrance. Smoke seals are required as well as intumescent strips — most Cambridge HMOs specify FD30S for bedrooms.

We deliver pallet-loads of fire doors to Cambridge on a 2–3 week lead time from order confirmation. Delivery is £140 flat-rate to mainland UK postcodes, including all of Cambridge and the surrounding region. Larger orders can sometimes ship faster; ask when you request a quote.

Yes — we offer full supply-and-install across Cambridge and the wider Cambridgeshire. Installations are carried out by FIRAS and BM TRADA certified fitters working to BS 8214, with the correct intumescent strips, smoke seals, gaps, and matched ironmongery for the door's fire test evidence. Fitting a fire door incorrectly voids its certification, so we never sub-contract to non-certified trades.

University-owned student accommodation is generally exempt from local-authority HMO licensing because it falls under the Universities UK Code of Practice for student accommodation. However, the fire safety standard applied is materially the same: FD30 (or FD30S) doors at every bedroom, intumescent and smoke seals, certified ironmongery, regular inspection records. The exemption is administrative, not about lower safety standards. Privately-owned student accommodation in Cambridge IS subject to HMO licensing.
