FD60 fire doors in Thamesmead

FD60 fire doors in Thamesmead, done to the evidence

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

Fire doors in Thamesmead protect escape routes in care homes, hotels and restaurants alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.

FD60 openings in Thamesmead buildings tend to be stair cores, plant rooms and bin stores in larger blocks and commercial premises. For FD60 work in Thamesmead we generally fit certified doorsets, so frame and leaf share the same test evidence.

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:

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

The regulations behind fire doors in Thamesmead

The rules that apply to fire doors in Thamesmead 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. Enforcement of fire safety law in Thamesmead sits with the London Fire Brigade.

Where a Thamesmead 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.

Buildings and duty holders in Thamesmead

Typical settings for FD60 fire doors include plant and boiler rooms, refuse stores and mixed-use commercial buildings. In Thamesmead, as anywhere, the duty holder varies: a responsible person for a workplace, a landlord or managing agent for a block or HMO, or a homeowner after building work. We adjust access, timing and paperwork to suit whoever commissions the work.
