FD60 fire door installation in Hampton

FD60 fire doors in Hampton, done to the evidence

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

Fire doors in Hampton protect escape routes in mixed-use office buildings, purpose-built blocks of flats and hotels alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.

Before ordering FD60 doors for a Hampton building, we check the rating each opening actually needs, because over-specifying makes doors heavier and dearer. For FD60 work in Hampton we generally fit certified doorsets, so frame and leaf share the same test evidence.

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:

• Load-rated hinges and correctly powered closer
• Check of the fire strategy rating for each opening
• Frame fixing and structural gap sealing recorded with photos
• 60-minute glazing systems where vision panels are needed

Fire door law for Hampton properties

The rules that apply to fire doors in Hampton 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. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.

Where a Hampton 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.
