From 30th September 2026, new residential buildings over 18 metres need two staircases under updated Approved Document B. What it does this mean for fire door and compartmentation specifications
Fire door compliance is a legal duty, not a one-off task. We break down what the law requires, what actually compromises a fire door, and how regular surveys and maintenance keep you on the right side of it.
FD30 and FD60 fire doors, manufactured in-house at our 21,000-square-foot facility in Kent and independently tested before they reach site. From bespoke sizing and finishes to standard sizes, we design, build and certify every door ourselves.
Passive fire protection is often seen as paperwork, when really it’s about craftsmanship, tested materials, precise installation and proper maintenance. LFS turned a former London double decker into a hands-on education space to prove it, with fire doors and live fire stopping demonstrations onboard, built entirely by our own team.
Need fire doors fast? LFS Express gets fully compliant doors to you in 10 working days, no compromise on standards.
