FD60 fire doors: our service in Coalville
From the LE67 postcode district outwards, we take on FD60 fire doors across Coalville for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Coalville has a broad mix of buildings, including small offices, small blocks of flats and houses with integral garages, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
FD60 openings in Coalville buildings tend to be stair cores, plant rooms and bin stores in larger blocks and commercial premises. For FD60 work in Coalville we generally fit certified doorsets, so frame and leaf share the same test evidence.
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.
Each installation includes:
- Check of the fire strategy rating for each opening
- Load-rated hinges and correctly powered closer
- Intumescent and smoke seals as specified
- 60-minute glazing systems where vision panels are needed
What the rules say for Coalville
England's framework applies in Coalville. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.
For blocks over 11 metres in Coalville, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.

Common questions
Do you work in Coalville?
Yes, we take on FD60 fire doors in Coalville and the surrounding area, including Loughborough and Swadlincote. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Coalville building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
Are FD60 doors harder to open?
They are heavier, so the closer has to be chosen and adjusted with care. A well-set closer will still close and latch the door while keeping the opening force reasonable for the people who use it.
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.
