FD60 fire doors in Woodford Green

FD60 fire doors: our service in Woodford Green

When you book FD60 fire doors in Woodford Green, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.

Woodford Green has a broad mix of buildings, including restaurants, mixed-use office buildings and schools, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.

Before ordering FD60 doors for a Woodford Green building, we check the rating each opening actually needs, because over-specifying makes doors heavier and dearer. For FD60 work in Woodford Green 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.

Each installation includes:

• Certified FD60 doorset or leaf with matching evidence
• Check of the fire strategy rating for each opening
• Intumescent and smoke seals as specified
• Load-rated hinges and correctly powered closer

Rules and responsibilities in Woodford Green

The rules that apply to fire doors in Woodford Green 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 Woodford Green 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.
