FD60 fire doors in Windsor

FD60 fire doors for Windsor buildings

Our FD60 fire doors service in Windsor is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.

Around Windsor, family homes after loft conversions, houses with integral garages and care homes all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.

For FD60 work in Windsor we generally fit certified doorsets, so frame and leaf share the same test evidence. FD60 openings in Windsor buildings tend to be stair cores, plant rooms and bin stores in larger blocks and commercial premises.

What do you hand over at the end?

For every FD60 opening we record the product and certificate reference, the gap measurements, the hinge and closer specification, how the frame was fixed and what was used to seal the frame-to-structure gap, with photographs before the architraves go on. That record is what your fire risk assessor or building control officer will ask for.

On a typical job that means:

• Certified FD60 doorset or leaf with matching evidence
• 60-minute glazing systems where vision panels are needed
• Intumescent and smoke seals as specified
• Check of the fire strategy rating for each opening

Rules and responsibilities in Windsor

England's framework applies in Windsor. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.

For blocks over 11 metres in Windsor, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.
