FD60 fire doors in Peckham, SE15

FD60 fire doors for Peckham buildings

Our FD60 fire doors service covers Peckham 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.

Peckham has a broad mix of buildings, including converted flats, restaurants and clinics, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.

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

When does a building need FD60 rather than FD30?

FD60 doors appear where the fire strategy asks a wall to resist fire for an hour: stair cores and lobbies in taller buildings, plant and boiler rooms, some service risers, refuse stores and compartment walls between different uses. The rating follows the wall. Fitting an FD30 door in a 60-minute wall leaves a weak point, and fitting FD60 everywhere wastes money and makes doors harder to open.

We work from your fire strategy, the building's drawings or the fire risk assessment. Where these disagree with what is on site, we flag it before ordering.

As standard, the work covers:

• Certified FD60 doorset or leaf with matching evidence
• 60-minute glazing systems where vision panels are needed
• Check of the fire strategy rating for each opening
• Intumescent and smoke seals as specified

What the rules say for Peckham

England's framework applies in Peckham. 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. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.

For blocks over 11 metres in Peckham, 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.

Buildings and duty holders in Peckham

In Peckham, as anywhere, the duty holder varies: a responsible person for a workplace, a landlord or managing agent for a block or HMO, or a homeowner after building work. We adjust access, timing and paperwork to suit whoever commissions the work.
