FD60 fire doors in South Croydon, CR2

FD60 fire doors for South Croydon buildings

Our FD60 fire doors service in South Croydon is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.

Buildings in and around South Croydon range from clinics to schools and converted flats. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.

FD60 openings in South Croydon buildings tend to be stair cores, plant rooms and bin stores in larger blocks and commercial premises. Before ordering FD60 doors for a South Croydon 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:

• Certified FD60 doorset or leaf with matching evidence
• Load-rated hinges and correctly powered closer
• Check of the fire strategy rating for each opening
• 60-minute glazing systems where vision panels are needed

The regulations behind fire doors in South Croydon

The rules that apply to fire doors in South Croydon are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.

Where a South Croydon block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.
