FD60 fire doors in Purley

FD60 fire doors in Purley, done to the evidence

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

Around Purley, schools, converted flats 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.

Before ordering FD60 doors for a Purley building, we check the rating each opening actually needs, because over-specifying makes doors heavier and dearer. For FD60 work in Purley 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:

• 60-minute glazing systems where vision panels are needed
• 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 Purley?

In Purley, 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 Purley 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 Purley 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.
