FD60 fire doors for Lytham St Annes buildings

Fire doors in Lytham St Annes protect escape routes in houses with integral garages, small offices and small blocks of flats alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
FD60 openings in Lytham St Annes buildings tend to be stair cores, plant rooms and bin stores in larger blocks and commercial premises. For FD60 work in Lytham St Annes 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.
Each installation includes:
- Frame fixing and structural gap sealing recorded with photos
- Check of the fire strategy rating for each opening
- Certified FD60 doorset or leaf with matching evidence
- Intumescent and smoke seals as specified
Which fire door rules apply in Lytham St Annes?
The rules that apply to fire doors in Lytham St Annes 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 Lytham St Annes 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.
Which buildings in Lytham St Annes need FD60 fire doors?
The need for FD60 fire doors usually arises in refuse stores or mixed-use commercial buildings, and sometimes stair cores in taller blocks. Each has its own pressures, such as residents at home or a building that must stay open, so we plan the sequence of work in Lytham St Annes to keep escape routes protected throughout.

Common questions
Is Lytham St Annes within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Lytham St Annes in Lancashire and neighbouring towns such as Blackpool. There is no charge for the survey.
What happens on a survey in Lytham St Annes?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
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.
Can I upgrade an FD30 door to FD60?
Not by adding parts. An FD30 leaf cannot be turned into an FD60 door with extra strips or paint. If an opening needs 60 minutes, the leaf, and usually the frame, need to be replaced with a certified FD60 product.
