FD30 & FD60 Fire Door Installers Southampton
At Handyman Southampton, we provide professional FD30 and FD60 fire door installation services across Southampton for homeowners, landlords, HMOs, rental properties and commercial buildings. Whether you need a brand-new fire door fitted, an older door replaced, or an existing opening upgraded with the correct seals and hardware, we carry out careful fitting with a tidy and practical finish.
FD30 & FD60 Fire Door Installation
We supply and fit FD30 and FD60 fire-rated door leaves with the correct components required for safe everyday use and improved fire protection. This includes accurate trimming, frame and lining work where needed, compliant clearances, and the correct fitting of fire-rated hardware and closing systems.
- FD30 fire door installation
- FD60 fire door installation
- Fire-rated frames and linings
- Intumescent fire strips and smoke seals
- Fire-rated hinges, locks and latches
- Overhead door closers and adjustments
Each installation is carried out with close attention to alignment, operation and finishing so the door performs properly and helps maintain compartmentation throughout the property.
Internal & Standard Door Installation
Alongside fire doors, we also install standard internal doors for bedrooms, bathrooms, hallways and general property improvements. Where fire-rated doors are not required, we can fit standard door sets neatly and accurately to improve how the space looks and functions.
This service is useful for home upgrades, refurbishments, rental property refresh work and replacement of damaged or worn internal doors.
Fire Strips, Seals & Door Hardware Upgrades
If an existing fire door needs improvement work rather than full replacement, we can replace damaged or missing intumescent strips, cold smoke seals and selected hardware components. Depending on the door and frame condition, we may also adjust closers, hinges, latches and alignment to improve operation.
Additional finishing work can include architraves, frame tidying, door easing, painting preparation and general making-good where required.

Pricing & Booking Information
We use different pricing methods depending on the type of fire door work required. Standard supply-and-fit fire door installations can often be priced clearly in advance, while more complex frame alterations, multiple doors, specialist hardware or compliance-related upgrades may need a separate quotation.
Fixed-price / standard services: Standard fire door supply-and-fit work typically starts from £500+ depending on whether the door is FD30 or FD60, the frame condition and the hardware required.
Quoted work: Multiple fire doors, frame changes, smoke seal upgrades, closer upgrades, specialist ironmongery, making-good and commercial or HMO work may be priced on quotation.
Hourly work: Smaller carpentry adjustments or minor related works outside a fixed package are typically charged at £60 per hour with a minimum 2-hour booking, plus a location-based call-out charge.
Same-day service: Same-day or urgent bookings may be available subject to availability, with an additional £40 same-day service charge.
Materials & hardware: If extra seals, closers, hinges, locks, latches, ironmongery or other materials are supplied by us, a separate material sourcing charge may also apply.
Additional Carpentry & Door Services
Alongside FD30 and FD60 installations, we also provide full carpentry services in Southampton including frame repairs, door linings, structural adjustments and precision fitting to help doors operate correctly and suit the property layout.
If you require non-fire-rated doors only, we also offer dedicated internal and external door installation services tailored to residential and rental properties.
