FD60 fire doors in New Malden

FD60 fire doors for New Malden buildings

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

Buildings in and around New Malden range from hotels to care homes and clinics. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.

FD60 openings in New Malden buildings tend to be stair cores, plant rooms and bin stores in larger blocks and commercial premises. For FD60 work in New Malden we generally fit certified doorsets, so frame and leaf share the same test evidence.

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.

As standard, the work covers:

• Certified FD60 doorset or leaf with matching evidence
• Frame fixing and structural gap sealing recorded with photos
• Intumescent and smoke seals as specified
• Check of the fire strategy rating for each opening

Which fire door rules apply in New Malden?

England's framework applies in New Malden. 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.

For blocks over 11 metres in New Malden, 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.
