Fire Doors in Reading

Reading's proximity to London and the Thames Valley business parks supports a strong rental market, and additional HMO licensing applies to qualifying properties. All licensed HMOs must have FD30 fire doors at bedrooms and habitable rooms, with intumescent and smoke seals. Reading Borough Council inspectors check at routine intervals; non-compliant doors lead to licence breach notices.

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

Yes — we offer full supply-and-install across Reading and the wider Berkshire. 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.

New-build apartments are typically delivered with FD30 or FD30S flat entrance doors meeting Approved Document B. However, when an apartment is converted to an HMO (typically 3+ unrelated sharers), each bedroom door inside the flat must be upgraded to FD30 with intumescent and smoke seals to satisfy HMO licensing. Internal habitable room doors in new-builds rarely meet this standard, so a retrofit is usually required.
