What FD60 fire doors in Ely should include
Looking for FD60 fire doors in Ely? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Ely and the wider Cambridgeshire area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
In and around Ely, fire door work covers everything from small offices to family homes after loft conversions. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
FD60 openings in Ely buildings tend to be stair cores, plant rooms and bin stores in larger blocks and commercial premises. For FD60 work in Ely we generally fit certified doorsets, so frame and leaf share the same test evidence.
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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Intumescent and smoke seals as specified
- Certified FD60 doorset or leaf with matching evidence
- 60-minute glazing systems where vision panels are needed
- Load-rated hinges and correctly powered closer
The regulations behind fire doors in Ely
The rules that apply to fire doors in Ely are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a Ely block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.

Questions from Ely
Do you cover CB6 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Ely including CB6, and nearby towns such as Newmarket and March. The survey and written quote are free.
How quickly can you survey in Ely?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
Can I upgrade an FD30 door to FD60?
Not by adding parts. An FD30 leaf cannot be turned into an FD60 door with extra strips or paint. If an opening needs 60 minutes, the leaf, and usually the frame, need to be replaced with a certified FD60 product.
Is FD60 just a thicker FD30?
No. FD60 doors are built and tested as a different product, usually with a thicker core, different seals and different ironmongery. Only the tested combination carries the 60-minute rating.
