FD60 fire doors in Gwent, done to the evidence
Whether your building is in Newport (Gwent), Cwmbran or a smaller place in Gwent, we can provide FD60 fire doors with the same evidence-led approach.
For FD60 work in Gwent we generally fit certified doorsets, so frame and leaf share the same test evidence. FD60 openings in Gwent buildings tend to be stair cores, plant rooms and bin stores in larger blocks and commercial premises.
Fire door work in Gwent spans housing providers with large estates, individual landlords, businesses and homeowners. We price every job from a survey, never from a list price alone, because the condition of the frames and the hardware makes a real difference.
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.
The regulations behind fire doors in Gwent
Because Gwent is in Wales, we work to the Building Regulations as they apply in Wales and to the Welsh version of Approved Document B. The responsible person duties under the Fire Safety Order 2005 still apply to workplaces and common parts.
England's fire door checking rules for tall residential buildings do not apply in Wales, so the checking frequency for doors in Gwent comes from your fire risk assessment.

FD60 fire doors questions
Do you provide FD60 fire doors across Gwent?
Yes. We cover all of Gwent, including Newport (Gwent) and Cwmbran. Surveys and written quotes are free.
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.
Is FD60 just a thicker FD30?
No. FD60 doors are built and tested as a different product, usually with a thicker core, different seals and different ironmongery. Only the tested combination carries the 60-minute rating.
