FD60 fire doors for Wood Green buildings
From the N22 postcode district outwards, we take on FD60 fire doors across Wood Green for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Fire doors in Wood Green protect escape routes in schools, mixed-use office buildings and care homes alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
For FD60 work in Wood Green we generally fit certified doorsets, so frame and leaf share the same test evidence. FD60 openings in Wood Green buildings tend to be stair cores, plant rooms and bin stores in larger blocks and commercial premises.
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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Intumescent and smoke seals as specified
- Certified FD60 doorset or leaf with matching evidence
- Frame fixing and structural gap sealing recorded with photos
- Load-rated hinges and correctly powered closer
Which fire door rules apply in Wood Green?
In Wood Green, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Wood Green building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.
Where FD60 fire doors fit in Wood Green
From plant and boiler rooms to refuse stores, the requirement for FD60 fire doors in Wood Green comes from the fire strategy or risk assessment for the building. We work from that document, or help you interpret your inspection report, before quoting.

Questions
Do you cover N22 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Wood Green including N22, and nearby towns such as Muswell Hill and Tottenham. The survey and written quote are free.
What happens on a survey in Wood Green?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
Are FD60 doors harder to open?
They are heavier, so the closer has to be chosen and adjusted with care. A well-set closer will still close and latch the door while keeping the opening force reasonable for the people who use it.
Can I upgrade an FD30 door to FD60?
Not by adding parts. An FD30 leaf cannot be turned into an FD60 door with extra strips or paint. If an opening needs 60 minutes, the leaf, and usually the frame, need to be replaced with a certified FD60 product.
