Liviosiv provides professional fire door installation in West London for residential, commercial and multi-occupancy properties. We supply and install suitable fire-rated doors, including FD30, FD30S and FD60 fire doors, together with compatible frames, seals, hinges, self-closing devices and ironmongery required for the complete doorset. Our service is not limited to fitting new fire doors. We can also inspect existing doors, complete fire door remedial works, replace unsuitable or badly damaged doors and provide relevant installation or completion documentation following qualifying works. Whether you need one replacement flat entrance door, several fire doors for an HMO, remedial work following an inspection or a larger installation programme across a residential or commercial building, our team can assess the requirements and recommend an appropriate solution.
Professional Fire Door Installation Across West London
Fire doors form an important part of a building’s passive fire protection system. When correctly specified, installed and maintained, they can help restrict the spread of fire and smoke, protect escape routes and maintain fire separation between different areas of a building. However, fitting a fire-rated door leaf alone does not automatically create a suitable fire door. The performance of the complete doorset can depend on the compatibility and installation of the door leaf, frame, hinges, intumescent strips, smoke seals where required, self-closing device, locks, latches, glazing and other ironmongery. Door gaps, threshold clearances and the connection between the frame and surrounding wall can also be important. Our fire door installers in West London therefore consider the complete door assembly rather than treating the door leaf as an isolated product.

What Is Fire Door Installation?
Fire door installation involves fitting a suitable fire-resistant door or doorset together with compatible components into an appropriate structural opening.
The specification required can vary depending on the type of building, location of the door, occupancy, fire strategy, fire risk assessment and level of fire resistance required.
For this reason, the correct door should be selected and installed according to the relevant doorset specification and supporting evidence rather than simply replacing a standard door with a heavier door leaf.
Our Fire Door Installation Services in West London
Liviosiv provides a comprehensive range of fire door services for landlords, homeowners, managing agents, property managers, responsible persons and businesses throughout West London.
New Fire Door Installation
We supply and install new fire doors where additional fire-resisting doors are required or where an existing standard door needs to be replaced as part of a wider fire-safety upgrade. Each installation is considered as a complete assembly, including the door leaf, frame where required, hinges, seals, self-closing device and compatible ironmongery.
FD30 Fire Door Installation
An FD30 fire door is designed and tested as part of a suitable assembly to provide approximately 30 minutes of fire resistance under the relevant test conditions. FD30 doors are commonly used in many residential and commercial applications, although the correct rating should be determined according to the individual property and location of the door.
FD30S Fire Door Installation
FD30S generally refers to a fire-resisting doorset providing the required 30-minute fire performance together with appropriate smoke-control provisions. Smoke control can be particularly important where fire doors protect common corridors, stairways or other escape routes.
FD60 Fire Door Installation
FD60 doors are designed and tested to provide a higher period of fire resistance than FD30 doors. They may be specified in particular commercial buildings, higher-risk areas, compartment boundaries or other locations where the building’s fire strategy requires a greater period of resistance.
Fire Door Replacement
Existing fire doors may require replacement where the door leaf, frame or complete assembly is significantly damaged, unsuitable or incapable of being appropriately restored through reasonable remedial work.
Our fire door replacement service in West London can include removal of an existing door and installation of a suitable replacement leaf or complete doorset, depending on the project requirements.
Flat Entrance Fire Doors
Flat entrance doors can form an important part of the fire separation between an individual dwelling and communal escape routes.
The official government fire door guidance highlights the importance of fire doors within multi-occupied residential buildings and the need to keep relevant doors in good working order.
We can provide fire door installation and replacement for purpose-built flats, apartment blocks, converted properties, social housing, build-to-rent developments and managed residential buildings.
Where smoke-control and self-closing provisions are required, these should be considered as part of the complete doorset specification.
Internal Fire Doors
We install internal fire doors where they are required to protect escape routes, separate higher-risk areas or support the compartmentation strategy of a building. Depending on the property, these may include doors serving bedrooms, kitchens, corridors, stairways, plant rooms, storage rooms, communal areas and protected escape routes. The requirement for a fire door should always be considered in relation to the individual building rather than assumed solely from the name or use of a room.
Commercial Fire Door Installation
Our commercial fire door installation service covers offices, shops, restaurants, hospitality premises, educational buildings, healthcare settings and other commercial properties throughout West London. We can work with property owners, facilities managers, managing agents, contractors and responsible persons on individual installations or larger multi-door projects.
Glazed Fire Doors
Where glazing forms part of a fire-resisting doorset, the glass and glazing system must be suitable for the intended fire-performance specification. The glazing should form part of an appropriate tested or assessed system rather than standard glass being installed into a fire-rated door without suitable evidence.
Bespoke Fire Door Solutions
Some properties have unusual openings, architectural features, non-standard dimensions or appearance requirements that make a standard doorset unsuitable. Where appropriate, we can help identify a bespoke solution that considers fire performance, functionality and the appearance of the surrounding property.
Fire Door Remedial Works in West London
Not every fire door that fails an inspection needs to be completely replaced. Where the existing door leaf and frame are fundamentally suitable, targeted fire door remedial works may provide a more proportionate solution. Depending on the condition and specification of the existing doorset, remedial work may involve correcting excessive gaps, replacing damaged intumescent or smoke seals, replacing unsuitable hinges, installing or adjusting a self-closing device, correcting latch alignment, adjusting the door within the frame, addressing threshold defects or replacing unsuitable ironmongery. The correct approach depends on what has actually failed and whether the existing fire door can reasonably be brought to an appropriate standard. Liviosiv assesses the defect before recommending repair, remedial work or replacement. This approach can help avoid unnecessary replacement while ensuring that significant problems are not simply hidden by minor adjustments.
Fire Door Repair, Remedial Work or Replacement?
Choosing between fire door repair, remedial work and full replacement should be based on the condition and evidence supporting the existing doorset.
Minor Fire Door Defects :Certain problems involving seals, hinges, closing devices, latches or door alignment may be suitable for targeted remedial work where the existing assembly remains appropriate.
Multiple or More Significant Defects: Where a fire door has several defects, a more detailed assessment may be necessary before deciding whether repair remains appropriate. Completing numerous isolated repairs does not necessarily provide a satisfactory outcome if the underlying door or frame is unsuitable.
Severely Damaged or Unsuitable Doors: Where the door leaf, frame, glazing, configuration or supporting evidence is unsuitable, full replacement may provide a more appropriate long-term solution.
Liviosiv does not assume that every failed fire door needs replacing. The complete doorset should be assessed first so that the recommended work reflects its actual condition.
What Is Included in Our Fire Door Installation Service?
The exact scope will depend on the property, doorset and agreed quotation. A typical fire door installation may include an initial review of the requirements, measurements of the opening, assessment of the existing frame, specification of the appropriate fire door, supply of a suitable door leaf or doorset, fire-rated hinges, intumescent strips, smoke seals where specified, a suitable self-closing device, compatible locks, latches and handles, fire-rated glazing where specified, gap and threshold checks, operational testing and a final installation review. Where a new frame is required, this can also form part of the installation. Relevant installation or completion documentation can be provided following qualifying works. Before work starts, we can confirm the exact scope and inclusions within your quotation.

- Final Checks and Documentation
Fire Door Certification and Documentation
Clients frequently ask whether documentation will be provided after fire door installation or remedial works.
Liviosiv can provide relevant documentation following qualifying work.
The documents supplied will depend on the project and may record details such as the property, door identification, agreed scope, work completed, door specification, installation information and photographic evidence where applicable.
For larger residential and commercial buildings, maintaining clear records can also assist landlords, managing agents, facilities managers and responsible persons when managing future inspection and maintenance requirements.
Installation, Remedials and Documentation From One Team
Rather than arranging separate contractors for assessment, remedial works, replacement and installation, Liviosiv can help manage several stages of the fire-door process.
We can review an existing report, identify the work required, complete agreed remedials or replacement, install new doors where necessary and provide relevant documentation following qualifying work.
FD30, FD30S and FD60 Fire Doors
Different buildings and locations can require different fire-resistance specifications.
FD30 Fire Doors
An FD30 doorset is designed and tested to provide approximately 30 minutes of fire resistance under the relevant test conditions.
It is commonly specified in a wide range of residential and commercial applications.
FD30S Fire Doors
An FD30S doorset combines the relevant fire-resistance performance with suitable smoke-control provisions.
This type of performance can be particularly important around escape routes and communal areas where smoke movement also needs to be controlled.
FD60 Fire Doors
An FD60 doorset provides a greater tested period of fire resistance and can be specified where the fire strategy or building design requires a higher level of protection.
Which Fire Door Rating Do I Need?
There is no single fire-door rating suitable for every building or opening.
The appropriate specification may depend on the type and height of the building, its layout, occupancy, location of the door, fire strategy, fire risk assessment and surrounding compartmentation.
If you are unsure whether you require an FD30, FD30S or FD60 door, Liviosiv can review the available information before preparing the installation quotation.

Fire Door Installation Cost in West London
The cost of fire door installation can vary considerably because the specification and amount of work differ from one property to another. Pricing can be affected by the required fire rating, door size, door design, finish, existing frame condition, whether a new frame is necessary, glazing requirements, ironmongery, locks, access-control equipment, number of doors, property access and the complexity of the installation. Bespoke or non-standard openings can also affect the final quotation.
For an accurate price, send Liviosiv your property postcode, photographs of the existing door and opening, approximate measurements where available, number of doors and any fire door inspection report or fire risk assessment already identifying the required works. For larger projects, providing a door schedule or inspection report can make it easier for us to prepare an accurate scope.
Fire Door Regulations and Standards
Fire-door requirements vary depending on the type of building, its use, the location of the door and the nature of the work being completed.
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 establishes important fire-safety duties for premises within its scope, including duties relating to fire precautions, risk assessment and maintenance.
The Fire Safety Act 2021 amended the application of the Fire Safety Order in relation to buildings containing domestic premises and clarified its application to certain parts of multi-occupied residential buildings.
The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 introduced additional requirements for multi-occupied residential buildings in England. Regulation 10 contains specific requirements relating to fire doors in buildings containing two or more domestic premises and common parts.
For building work in England, Approved Document B – Fire Safety provides statutory guidance supporting the fire-safety requirements of the Building Regulations.
Technical standards can also be relevant. BS 8214:2026 – Fire-resisting and smoke control doors provides recommendations concerning the specification, design, installation, performance in use and maintenance of fire-resisting and smoke-control doors.
Fire-resistance evidence for a doorset may also refer to recognised fire-test standards such as BS EN 1634-1, depending on the product, system and supporting documentation.
The exact requirements should always be considered in relation to the individual building, fire strategy, fire risk assessment, manufacturer’s instructions and evidence supporting the particular doorset.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How Much Does Fire Door Installation Cost in West London?
The cost of installing a fire door depends on factors including the required fire rating, door size, frame condition, design, finish, glazing, ironmongery and complexity of the installation. For the most accurate quotation, send us the property postcode, photographs of the existing opening and details of the number of doors required.
How Long Does It Take to Install a Fire Door?
Installation time varies according to the existing opening, frame condition and specification of the replacement doorset. A straightforward individual installation may take considerably less time than a larger programme involving multiple doors, new frames or additional preparation.
Can You Supply and Install the Complete Fire Door?
Yes. Depending on the agreed scope, Liviosiv can supply and install the complete fire door assembly, including the door leaf, suitable frame, hinges, seals, closer and compatible ironmongery.
Do You Provide a Certificate After Fire Door Installation?
Relevant installation, completion or compliance documentation can be provided following qualifying works. The exact documentation supplied will depend on the type of door and scope of installation completed.
Can You Complete Fire Door Remedial Works?
Yes. Liviosiv provides fire door remedial works where defects can appropriately be corrected without requiring complete replacement of the doorset.
Can an Existing Fire Door Be Repaired Instead of Replaced?
In some circumstances, yes. Defects involving seals, hinges, self-closing devices, latching, alignment or certain gap issues may be suitable for remedial work where the existing door and frame remain suitable. The doorset needs to be assessed before deciding whether remediation or replacement is the more appropriate solution.
What Is the Difference Between FD30 and FD60 Fire Doors?
FD30 and FD60 identify different levels of tested fire resistance for the applicable doorset. FD30 generally relates to approximately 30 minutes of fire resistance, while FD60 generally relates to approximately 60 minutes under the relevant test conditions. The correct rating depends on the requirements of the individual building and location.
What Does FD30S Mean?
FD30S generally refers to a fire door providing the relevant FD30 fire-resistance performance together with appropriate smoke-control provisions. The actual specification needs to correspond with the requirements of the building and evidence supporting the doorset.
Do Fire Doors Need Self-Closing Devices?
Many fire doors are required to be self-closing depending on their location and the applicable building and fire-safety requirements. Flat entrance doors and doors within common parts of blocks of flats are important examples. Government guidance explains that relevant fire doors should be kept in good working order and addresses checks on their self-closing devices.
Do Fire Doors Need Intumescent Strips?
Intumescent strips commonly form part of modern fire door assemblies. The correct strip size, type and position should correspond with the evidence and specification supporting the particular doorset rather than being selected arbitrarily.
What Happens If My Fire Door Gaps Are Too Large?
Excessive or inconsistent gaps can affect the expected performance of a fire door. Depending on the construction of the door, available evidence and extent of the problem, adjustment or other suitable remedial work may be possible.
Can You Replace a Fire Door but Keep the Existing Frame?
Sometimes. An existing frame should only be retained where it is suitable for the proposed door and compatible with the required performance and installation specification. It should not be assumed that every existing frame can automatically be reused with a new fire door leaf.
What If My Existing Fire Door Has No Label or Certificate?
The absence of a visible label does not automatically prove whether an existing door is compliant or non-compliant. Further assessment may be needed based on the door’s construction, condition, available documentation and other evidence.
Do You Install Fire Doors in HMOs?
Yes. Liviosiv provides fire door installation, replacement and remedial services for HMOs throughout West London and other parts of London within our service area.
Do You Install Fire Doors in Commercial Buildings?
Yes. Our services cover offices, shops, hospitality properties, educational premises, healthcare buildings and other commercial properties.
Can You Carry Out Work From an Existing Fire Door Survey?
Yes. If you already have a fire door inspection or survey report, send us a copy. We can review the listed defects and prepare a quotation for suitable remedial work or replacement where required.
