FD60 fire doors in Archway

What FD60 fire doors in Archway should include

Our FD60 fire doors service covers Archway and the wider Greater London area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.

Fire doors in Archway protect escape routes in mixed-use office buildings, care homes and clinics alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.

FD60 openings in Archway buildings tend to be stair cores, plant rooms and bin stores in larger blocks and commercial premises. For FD60 work in Archway 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.

What you get:

• Certified FD60 doorset or leaf with matching evidence
• 60-minute glazing systems where vision panels are needed
• Frame fixing and structural gap sealing recorded with photos
• Intumescent and smoke seals as specified

In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.

Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.
