Getting FD60 fire doors right in Wrexham
Looking for FD60 fire doors in Wrexham? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Wrexham and the wider Clwyd area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Fire doors in Wrexham protect escape routes in HMOs, industrial estates and low-rise blocks of flats alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Before ordering FD60 doors for a Wrexham building, we check the rating each opening actually needs, because over-specifying makes doors heavier and dearer. For FD60 work in Wrexham 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.
Each installation includes:
- Certified FD60 doorset or leaf with matching evidence
- Load-rated hinges and correctly powered closer
- Intumescent and smoke seals as specified
- Check of the fire strategy rating for each opening
The regulations behind fire doors in Wrexham
Because Wrexham is in Wales, we work to the Building Regulations as they apply in Wales and to the Welsh version of Approved Document B. The responsible person duties under the Fire Safety Order 2005 still apply to workplaces and common parts.
England's fire door checking rules for tall residential buildings do not apply in Wales, so the checking frequency for doors in Wrexham comes from your fire risk assessment.

Questions from Wrexham
Is Wrexham within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Wrexham in Clwyd and neighbouring towns such as Rhosllannerchrugog. There is no charge for the survey.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
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.
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.
