FD60 fire door installation in Fulham

Getting FD60 fire doors right in Fulham

We provide FD60 fire doors in Fulham (SW6 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.

Fire doors in Fulham protect escape routes in shared houses, converted flats and purpose-built blocks of flats alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.

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

• 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

The regulations behind fire doors in Fulham

England's framework applies in Fulham. 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 Fulham sits with the London Fire Brigade.

For blocks over 11 metres in Fulham, 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.
