FD60 fire doors in Dagenham, done to the evidence
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Dagenham, we offer FD60 fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Around Dagenham, hotels, schools and clinics 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 Dagenham we generally fit certified doorsets, so frame and leaf share the same test evidence. FD60 openings in Dagenham 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- 60-minute glazing systems where vision panels are needed
- Certified FD60 doorset or leaf with matching evidence
- Intumescent and smoke seals as specified
- Check of the fire strategy rating for each opening
What the rules say for Dagenham
The rules that apply to fire doors in Dagenham are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts. Enforcement of fire safety law in Dagenham sits with the London Fire Brigade.
Where a Dagenham block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.

Questions from Dagenham
Do you cover RM10 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Dagenham including RM10, and nearby towns such as Becontree and Romford. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Dagenham building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
Is FD60 just a thicker FD30?
No. FD60 doors are built and tested as a different product, usually with a thicker core, different seals and different ironmongery. Only the tested combination carries the 60-minute rating.
Are FD60 doors harder to open?
They are heavier, so the closer has to be chosen and adjusted with care. A well-set closer will still close and latch the door while keeping the opening force reasonable for the people who use it.
