FD60 fire doors in Hastings, TN34

What FD60 fire doors in Hastings should include

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

In and around Hastings, fire door work covers everything from low-rise blocks of flats to industrial estates. We plan each job around the people who use the building.

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

When does a building need FD60 rather than FD30?

FD60 doors appear where the fire strategy asks a wall to resist fire for an hour: stair cores and lobbies in taller buildings, plant and boiler rooms, some service risers, refuse stores and compartment walls between different uses. The rating follows the wall. Fitting an FD30 door in a 60-minute wall leaves a weak point, and fitting FD60 everywhere wastes money and makes doors harder to open.

We work from your fire strategy, the building's drawings or the fire risk assessment. Where these disagree with what is on site, we flag it before ordering.

Each installation includes:

• Load-rated hinges and correctly powered closer
• 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

The regulations behind fire doors in Hastings

The rules that apply to fire doors in Hastings are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.

Where a Hastings block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.
