FD60 fire door installation in Winsford

FD60 fire doors for Winsford buildings

Looking for FD60 fire doors in Winsford? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Winsford and the wider Cheshire area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.

Around Winsford, light industrial buildings, schools and family homes after loft conversions 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.

Before ordering FD60 doors for a Winsford building, we check the rating each opening actually needs, because over-specifying makes doors heavier and dearer. For FD60 work in Winsford 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.

On a typical job that means:

• 60-minute glazing systems where vision panels are needed
• Frame fixing and structural gap sealing recorded with photos
• Intumescent and smoke seals as specified
• Certified FD60 doorset or leaf with matching evidence
