FD60 fire doors in Northolt

FD60 fire doors: our service in Northolt

We provide FD60 fire doors in Northolt (UB5 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.

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

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.

Each installation includes:

• Load-rated hinges and correctly powered closer
• Frame fixing and structural gap sealing recorded with photos
• Check of the fire strategy rating for each opening
• Intumescent and smoke seals as specified

Fire door law for Northolt properties

In Northolt, 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 Northolt 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.
