FD60 fire doors for Deeside buildings
Looking for FD60 fire doors in Deeside? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Deeside and the wider Clwyd area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
In and around Deeside, fire door work covers everything from family homes after loft conversions to light industrial buildings. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Before ordering FD60 doors for a Deeside building, we check the rating each opening actually needs, because over-specifying makes doors heavier and dearer. For FD60 work in Deeside 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:
- Intumescent and smoke seals as specified
- Frame fixing and structural gap sealing recorded with photos
- Certified FD60 doorset or leaf with matching evidence
- Load-rated hinges and correctly powered closer
Fire door law for Deeside properties
Deeside is in Wales, where new and replacement fire doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 as applied in Wales, with the Welsh Approved Document B as guidance. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 also applies, so responsible persons in workplaces and the common parts of blocks must keep fire doors maintained.
One difference from England: regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, with its quarterly and annual fire door checks, does not apply in Wales. Your fire risk assessment sets the checking regime instead, and we work to it.

Questions from Deeside
Is Deeside within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Deeside in Clwyd and neighbouring towns such as Hawarden. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Deeside building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
Do FD60 doors need smoke seals?
If the fire strategy asks for smoke control, yes: the door will be specified as FD60S or E60Sa with smoke seals. Many plant room doors are FD60 without a smoke requirement.
Are FD60 doors harder to open?
They are heavier, so the closer has to be chosen and adjusted with care. A well-set closer will still close and latch the door while keeping the opening force reasonable for the people who use it.
