FD60 fire doors in Surbiton

FD60 fire doors in Surbiton: what's involved

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

In and around Surbiton, fire door work covers everything from hotels to student accommodation. We plan each job around the people who use the building.

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

• Certified FD60 doorset or leaf with matching evidence
• Intumescent and smoke seals as specified
• Frame fixing and structural gap sealing recorded with photos
• 60-minute glazing systems where vision panels are needed

Which fire door rules apply in Surbiton?

The rules that apply to fire doors in Surbiton 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 Surbiton 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.

Which buildings in Surbiton need FD60 fire doors?

The need for FD60 fire doors usually arises in plant and boiler rooms or refuse stores, and sometimes mixed-use commercial buildings. Each has its own pressures, such as residents at home or a building that must stay open, so we plan the sequence of work in Surbiton to keep escape routes protected throughout.
