Getting FD60 fire doors right in Ramsgate

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

Buildings in and around Ramsgate range from schools to houses with integral garages and small blocks of flats. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.

FD60 openings in Ramsgate buildings tend to be stair cores, plant rooms and bin stores in larger blocks and commercial premises. Before ordering FD60 doors for a Ramsgate building, we check the rating each opening actually needs, because over-specifying makes doors heavier and dearer.

Why FD60 installation is less forgiving

A 54mm leaf can weigh considerably more than a 44mm one. That weight drives everything else: more robust frames and fixings, hinges rated for the load, and a closer with enough power to close and latch the door without making it too heavy to open. Glazing, if any, must use a 60-minute glass and glazing system from the same test evidence.

Because of this, most FD60 openings are best done as a certified doorset, so the frame and leaf come with matching evidence.

As standard, the work covers:

• Certified FD60 doorset or leaf with matching evidence
• 60-minute glazing systems where vision panels are needed
• Intumescent and smoke seals as specified
• Check of the fire strategy rating for each opening

Which fire door rules apply in Ramsgate?

The rules that apply to fire doors in Ramsgate 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 Ramsgate 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.
