FD60 fire doors in Exmouth, done to the evidence
Looking for FD60 fire doors in Exmouth? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Exmouth and the wider Devon area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Fire doors in Exmouth protect escape routes in small offices, schools and small blocks of flats alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
For FD60 work in Exmouth we generally fit certified doorsets, so frame and leaf share the same test evidence. FD60 openings in Exmouth 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:
- 60-minute glazing systems where vision panels are needed
- Check of the fire strategy rating for each opening
- Certified FD60 doorset or leaf with matching evidence
- Load-rated hinges and correctly powered closer
What the rules say for Exmouth
England's framework applies in Exmouth. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.
For blocks over 11 metres in Exmouth, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.

Questions
Is Exmouth within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Exmouth in Devon and neighbouring towns such as Heavitree. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Exmouth 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.
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.
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.
