FD60 fire doors for Hyde buildings
If you need FD60 fire doors in Hyde, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Fire doors in Hyde protect escape routes in schools, light industrial buildings and small blocks of flats alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
FD60 openings in Hyde buildings tend to be stair cores, plant rooms and bin stores in larger blocks and commercial premises. Before ordering FD60 doors for a Hyde building, we check the rating each opening actually needs, because over-specifying makes doors heavier and dearer.
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.
What you get:
- Load-rated hinges and correctly powered closer
- 60-minute glazing systems where vision panels are needed
- Check of the fire strategy rating for each opening
- Intumescent and smoke seals as specified
The regulations behind fire doors in Hyde
The rules that apply to fire doors in Hyde 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.
Where a Hyde 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.

Questions from Hyde
Do you work in Hyde?
Yes, we take on FD60 fire doors in Hyde and the surrounding area, including Denton and Dukinfield. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Hyde building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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.
Do FD60 doors need smoke seals?
If the fire strategy asks for smoke control, yes: the door will be specified as FD60S or E60Sa with smoke seals. Many plant room doors are FD60 without a smoke requirement.
