FD60 fire door installation in Stanford-le-Hope

FD60 fire doors: our service in Stanford-le-Hope

From the SS17 postcode district outwards, we take on FD60 fire doors across Stanford-le-Hope for homes, blocks and workplaces.

Buildings in and around Stanford-le-Hope range from light industrial buildings to care homes and houses with integral garages. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.

FD60 openings in Stanford-le-Hope buildings tend to be stair cores, plant rooms and bin stores in larger blocks and commercial premises. For FD60 work in Stanford-le-Hope 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:

• Frame fixing and structural gap sealing recorded with photos
• Check of the fire strategy rating for each opening
• Load-rated hinges and correctly powered closer
• 60-minute glazing systems where vision panels are needed
