FD60 fire doors in Croydon

Getting FD60 fire doors right in Croydon

For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Croydon, we offer FD60 fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.

Around Croydon, purpose-built blocks of flats, hotels and converted flats 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 Croydon we generally fit certified doorsets, so frame and leaf share the same test evidence. FD60 openings in Croydon 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.

On a typical job that means:

• Frame fixing and structural gap sealing recorded with photos
• 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

Fire door law for Croydon properties

Fire doors in Croydon fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. 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.

For residential buildings in Croydon above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. 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.
