FD60 fire doors in Hanworth, TW13

Getting FD60 fire doors right in Hanworth

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

Around Hanworth, converted flats, mixed-use office buildings 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 Hanworth buildings tend to be stair cores, plant rooms and bin stores in larger blocks and commercial premises. For FD60 work in Hanworth 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.

On a typical job that means:

• Check of the fire strategy rating for each opening
• 60-minute glazing systems where vision panels are needed
• Certified FD60 doorset or leaf with matching evidence
• Load-rated hinges and correctly powered closer

Rules and responsibilities in Hanworth

The rules that apply to fire doors in Hanworth 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 Hanworth 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.
