FD60 fire doors in Fleetwood

Getting FD60 fire doors right in Fleetwood

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

In and around Fleetwood, fire door work covers everything from light industrial buildings to family homes after loft conversions. We plan each job around the people who use the building.

Before ordering FD60 doors for a Fleetwood building, we check the rating each opening actually needs, because over-specifying makes doors heavier and dearer. For FD60 work in Fleetwood we generally fit certified doorsets, so frame and leaf share the same test evidence.

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.

What you get:

• Certified FD60 doorset or leaf with matching evidence
• Intumescent and smoke seals as specified
• 60-minute glazing systems where vision panels are needed
• Load-rated hinges and correctly powered closer

The regulations behind fire doors in Fleetwood

Fire doors in Fleetwood 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.

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.
