What FD60 fire doors in Omagh should include
Looking for FD60 fire doors in Omagh? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Omagh and the wider County Tyrone area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Fire doors in Omagh protect escape routes in light industrial buildings, family homes after loft conversions and small offices alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Before ordering FD60 doors for a Omagh building, we check the rating each opening actually needs, because over-specifying makes doors heavier and dearer. For FD60 work in Omagh 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Certified FD60 doorset or leaf with matching evidence
- Load-rated hinges and correctly powered closer
- 60-minute glazing systems where vision panels are needed
- Intumescent and smoke seals as specified
What the rules say for Omagh
Omagh 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 Omagh are checked. We hand over evidence that supports it.
Who needs FD60 fire doors in Omagh?
From refuse stores to plant and boiler rooms, the requirement for FD60 fire doors in Omagh comes from the fire strategy or risk assessment for the building. We work from that document, or help you interpret your inspection report, before quoting.

Questions
Is Omagh within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Omagh in County Tyrone and neighbouring towns such as Derry. 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.
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.
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.
