Thanks Anthony, I have done a assessment of my door. Original 1960 flat door it is hollow not solid the thin edge is only 1.5cm ithas 2 rising butt hinges no self closure it has no seals around door or letterbox so in my opinion not up to standard, too much work to try and bring it up to standard required so in your opinion am I making the right decision to get a new composite FD30S door. thanks just don’t want to waste money if I don’t need to.

Thanks, as far as I’m aware a notice of deficiencies and most important replacement of front doors to provide 30 minutes fire protection to the means of escape. Does that mean doors have to be replaced or does it mean removing rising butts and adding smoke seals like director says.

I recently arrange a visit from FSO to look at my flat entrance door as I wanted to know if it was a fire door? It was built 1960 on 2 rising butt hinges with draft excluder all around frame. Opens onto communal hallway which leads to main exit door. Due to his visit i’m Getting a new FDS30 door. He looked round the block 3 floor 6 flats in total. The FSO contacted the Director and told him doors to other flats had to be changed under the 2005 act. The director is unhappy with this and is questioning the FSO as he says the doors are fine and only need to be changed if individual flat owners want to. I wonder if you could tell me who is correct. I personally trust the FSO as this is his job. On the other hand our Director says he is very knowledgeable on this and the FSO is wrong. thanks for any advice given
