FD60 fire door installation in Putney

FD60 fire doors for Putney buildings

We provide FD60 fire doors in Putney (SW15 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.

Around Putney, converted flats, clinics and shared houses 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.

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

What you get:

• Frame fixing and structural gap sealing recorded with photos
• Certified FD60 doorset or leaf with matching evidence
• Load-rated hinges and correctly powered closer
• 60-minute glazing systems where vision panels are needed

Rules and responsibilities in Putney

England's framework applies in Putney. 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 Putney, 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.

Which buildings in Putney need FD60 fire doors?

Typical settings for FD60 fire doors include refuse stores, stair cores in taller blocks and plant and boiler rooms. In Putney, 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.
