FD60 fire doors in Stratford, E15

FD60 fire doors in Stratford: what's involved

From the E15 postcode district outwards, we take on FD60 fire doors across Stratford for homes, blocks and workplaces.

Fire doors in Stratford protect escape routes in purpose-built blocks of flats, schools and restaurants alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.

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

What you get:

• Certified FD60 doorset or leaf with matching evidence
• Frame fixing and structural gap sealing recorded with photos
• Load-rated hinges and correctly powered closer
• Intumescent and smoke seals as specified
