FD60 fire doors in Eltham

What FD60 fire doors in Eltham should include

Our FD60 fire doors service in Eltham is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.

Around Eltham, converted flats, purpose-built blocks of flats and student accommodation 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.

FD60 openings in Eltham buildings tend to be stair cores, plant rooms and bin stores in larger blocks and commercial premises. Before ordering FD60 doors for a Eltham building, we check the rating each opening actually needs, because over-specifying makes doors heavier and dearer.

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

Which fire door rules apply in Eltham?

In Eltham, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet. Enforcement of fire safety law in Eltham sits with the London Fire Brigade.

Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Eltham building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.
