FD60 fire doors in Newtownards, done to the evidence
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Newtownards, we offer FD60 fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Around Newtownards, houses with integral garages, care homes and light industrial buildings 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.
FD60 openings in Newtownards buildings tend to be stair cores, plant rooms and bin stores in larger blocks and commercial premises. For FD60 work in Newtownards 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:
- Load-rated hinges and correctly powered closer
- Check of the fire strategy rating for each opening
- 60-minute glazing systems where vision panels are needed
- Intumescent and smoke seals as specified
Which fire door rules apply in Newtownards?
Newtownards is in Northern Ireland, where fire doors are covered by the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012 and Technical Booklet E on fire safety. Duties in non-domestic premises come from the Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 and the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010.
The English regulation 10 checking regime does not apply here, so the fire risk assessment sets how often doors in Newtownards are checked. We hand over evidence that supports it.

Each has its own pressures, such as residents at home or a building that must stay open, so we plan the sequence of work in Newtownards to keep escape routes protected throughout.

Questions from Newtownards
Do you work in Newtownards?
Yes, we take on FD60 fire doors in Newtownards and the surrounding area, including Bangor and Castlereagh. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Newtownards 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.
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.
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.
