FD60 fire doors for Sutton buildings

Looking for FD60 fire doors in Sutton? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Sutton and the wider Greater London area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.

Fire doors in Sutton protect escape routes in restaurants, shared houses and converted flats alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.

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

On a typical job that means:

• Check of the fire strategy rating for each opening
• Load-rated hinges and correctly powered closer
• Intumescent and smoke seals as specified
• Frame fixing and structural gap sealing recorded with photos

The regulations behind fire doors in Sutton

Fire doors in Sutton fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.

For residential buildings in Sutton above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.
