FD60 fire door installation in Mitcham

FD60 fire doors in Mitcham, done to the evidence

If you need FD60 fire doors in Mitcham, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.

Mitcham has a broad mix of buildings, including restaurants, student accommodation and hotels, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.

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

Why FD60 installation is less forgiving

A 54mm leaf can weigh considerably more than a 44mm one. That weight drives everything else: more robust frames and fixings, hinges rated for the load, and a closer with enough power to close and latch the door without making it too heavy to open. Glazing, if any, must use a 60-minute glass and glazing system from the same test evidence.

Because of this, most FD60 openings are best done as a certified doorset, so the frame and leaf come with matching evidence.

Each installation includes:

• Certified FD60 doorset or leaf with matching evidence
• Intumescent and smoke seals as specified
• Load-rated hinges and correctly powered closer
• Check of the fire strategy rating for each opening

Rules and responsibilities in Mitcham

In Mitcham, 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 Mitcham 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 Mitcham 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.
