FD60 fire door installation in Cirencester

What FD60 fire doors in Cirencester should include

We provide FD60 fire doors in Cirencester (GL7 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.

Cirencester has a broad mix of buildings, including care homes, schools and small offices, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.

For FD60 work in Cirencester we generally fit certified doorsets, so frame and leaf share the same test evidence. FD60 openings in Cirencester 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.

Each installation includes:

• Check of the fire strategy rating for each opening
• 60-minute glazing systems where vision panels are needed
• Load-rated hinges and correctly powered closer
• Intumescent and smoke seals as specified
