FD60 fire doors in Bordon

FD60 fire doors for Bordon buildings

Our FD60 fire doors service in Bordon is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.

In and around Bordon, fire door work covers everything from houses with integral garages to light industrial buildings. We plan each job around the people who use the building.

FD60 openings in Bordon buildings tend to be stair cores, plant rooms and bin stores in larger blocks and commercial premises. For FD60 work in Bordon 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:

• Intumescent and smoke seals as specified
• Certified FD60 doorset or leaf with matching evidence
• 60-minute glazing systems where vision panels are needed
• Frame fixing and structural gap sealing recorded with photos

The regulations behind fire doors in Bordon

In Bordon, 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.

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 Bordon 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.

Which buildings in Bordon need FD60 fire doors?

Typical settings for FD60 fire doors include refuse stores, mixed-use commercial buildings and stair cores in taller blocks. In Bordon, 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.
