FD60 fire doors in Morden

FD60 fire doors in Morden: what's involved

Our FD60 fire doors service covers Morden and the wider Greater London area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.

In and around Morden, fire door work covers everything from care homes to purpose-built blocks of flats. We plan each job around the people who use the building.

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

As standard, the work covers:

• 60-minute glazing systems where vision panels are needed
• Check of the fire strategy rating for each opening
• Frame fixing and structural gap sealing recorded with photos
• Intumescent and smoke seals as specified

What the rules say for Morden

In Morden, 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. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.

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 Morden 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.

Where FD60 fire doors fit in Morden

The need for FD60 fire doors usually arises in refuse stores or mixed-use commercial buildings, and sometimes stair cores in taller blocks. Each has its own pressures, such as residents at home or a building that must stay open, so we plan the sequence of work in Morden to keep escape routes protected throughout.
