FD60 fire doors for Fleet buildings

Looking for FD60 fire doors in Fleet? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Fleet and the wider Hampshire area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.

Fleet has a broad mix of buildings, including family homes after loft conversions, houses with integral garages and light industrial buildings, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.

For FD60 work in Fleet we generally fit certified doorsets, so frame and leaf share the same test evidence. FD60 openings in Fleet buildings tend to be stair cores, plant rooms and bin stores in larger blocks and commercial premises.

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.

On a typical job that means:

• Load-rated hinges and correctly powered closer
• 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

Fire door law for Fleet properties

Fire doors in Fleet fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.

For residential buildings in Fleet above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.

Which buildings in Fleet need FD60 fire doors?

From refuse stores to stair cores in taller blocks, the requirement for FD60 fire doors in Fleet comes from the fire strategy or risk assessment for the building. We work from that document, or help you interpret your inspection report, before quoting.
