FD60 fire door installation in Mangotsfield

What FD60 fire doors in Mangotsfield should include

If you need FD60 fire doors in Mangotsfield, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.

In and around Mangotsfield, fire door work covers everything from schools to care homes. We plan each job around the people who use the building.

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

• Intumescent and smoke seals as specified
• Load-rated hinges and correctly powered closer
• Frame fixing and structural gap sealing recorded with photos
• 60-minute glazing systems where vision panels are needed

Fire door law for Mangotsfield properties

England's framework applies in Mangotsfield. 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 Mangotsfield, 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.
