FD60 fire doors in Shepherds Bush, W12

What FD60 fire doors in Shepherds Bush should include

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

Shepherds Bush has a broad mix of buildings, including purpose-built blocks of flats, mixed-use office buildings and clinics, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.

FD60 openings in Shepherds Bush buildings tend to be stair cores, plant rooms and bin stores in larger blocks and commercial premises. For FD60 work in Shepherds Bush 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.

Each installation includes:

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