FD60 fire doors in Workington

FD60 fire doors for Workington buildings

For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Workington, we offer FD60 fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.

Workington has a broad mix of buildings, including family homes after loft conversions, care homes and small blocks of flats, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.

For FD60 work in Workington we generally fit certified doorsets, so frame and leaf share the same test evidence. FD60 openings in Workington buildings tend to be stair cores, plant rooms and bin stores in larger blocks and commercial premises.

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:

• Check of the fire strategy rating for each opening
• Certified FD60 doorset or leaf with matching evidence
• 60-minute glazing systems where vision panels are needed
• Intumescent and smoke seals as specified
