FD60 fire doors in High Wycombe, HP11

Getting FD60 fire doors right in High Wycombe

Our FD60 fire doors service covers High Wycombe and the wider Buckinghamshire area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.

Fire doors in High Wycombe protect escape routes in HMOs, converted period houses and GP surgeries alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.

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

When does a building need FD60 rather than FD30?

FD60 doors appear where the fire strategy asks a wall to resist fire for an hour: stair cores and lobbies in taller buildings, plant and boiler rooms, some service risers, refuse stores and compartment walls between different uses. The rating follows the wall. Fitting an FD30 door in a 60-minute wall leaves a weak point, and fitting FD60 everywhere wastes money and makes doors harder to open.

We work from your fire strategy, the building's drawings or the fire risk assessment. Where these disagree with what is on site, we flag it before ordering.

What you get:

• Frame fixing and structural gap sealing recorded with photos
• Intumescent and smoke seals as specified
• Certified FD60 doorset or leaf with matching evidence
• Check of the fire strategy rating for each opening

Rules and responsibilities in High Wycombe

In High Wycombe, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet.

Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your High Wycombe building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.
