FD60 fire doors in Peterborough, PE1

FD60 fire doors for Peterborough buildings

When you book FD60 fire doors in Peterborough, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.

Peterborough has a broad mix of buildings, including HMOs, industrial units and schools, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.

FD60 openings in Peterborough buildings tend to be stair cores, plant rooms and bin stores in larger blocks and commercial premises. For FD60 work in Peterborough 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.

What you get:

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

The regulations behind fire doors in Peterborough

England's framework applies in Peterborough. 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 Peterborough, 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.
