FD60 fire doors: our service in Farnborough
Looking for FD60 fire doors in Farnborough? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Farnborough and the wider Hampshire area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Around Farnborough, care homes, high-street shops and HMOs all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
For FD60 work in Farnborough we generally fit certified doorsets, so frame and leaf share the same test evidence. FD60 openings in Farnborough 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.
What you get:
- Check of the fire strategy rating for each opening
- Frame fixing and structural gap sealing recorded with photos
- Load-rated hinges and correctly powered closer
- Certified FD60 doorset or leaf with matching evidence
Fire door law for Farnborough properties
The rules that apply to fire doors in Farnborough 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 Farnborough 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
Do you work in Farnborough?
Yes, we take on FD60 fire doors in Farnborough and the surrounding area, including Camberley and Aldershot. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
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.
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.
