FD60 fire doors in Edmonton, N9

FD60 fire doors in Edmonton, done to the evidence

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

Buildings in and around Edmonton range from clinics to converted flats and shared houses. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.

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

• Intumescent and smoke seals as specified
• Certified FD60 doorset or leaf with matching evidence
• 60-minute glazing systems where vision panels are needed
• Check of the fire strategy rating for each opening

The regulations behind fire doors in Edmonton

England's framework applies in Edmonton. 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. Enforcement of fire safety law in Edmonton sits with the London Fire Brigade.

For blocks over 11 metres in Edmonton, 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.
