FD60 fire doors in Cricklewood

Getting FD60 fire doors right in Cricklewood

We provide FD60 fire doors in Cricklewood (NW2 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.

Around Cricklewood, hotels, student accommodation and restaurants all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.

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

What you get:

• Certified FD60 doorset or leaf with matching evidence
• Load-rated hinges and correctly powered closer
• Check of the fire strategy rating for each opening
• Intumescent and smoke seals as specified

Which fire door rules apply in Cricklewood?

England's framework applies in Cricklewood. 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. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.

For blocks over 11 metres in Cricklewood, 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.
