FD60 fire doors in Hinckley

FD60 fire doors: our service in Hinckley

If you need FD60 fire doors in Hinckley, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.

Hinckley has a broad mix of buildings, including care homes, low-rise blocks of flats and houses with integral garages, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.

FD60 openings in Hinckley buildings tend to be stair cores, plant rooms and bin stores in larger blocks and commercial premises. For FD60 work in Hinckley 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.

What you get:

• Frame fixing and structural gap sealing recorded with photos
• Load-rated hinges and correctly powered closer
• Certified FD60 doorset or leaf with matching evidence
• Check of the fire strategy rating for each opening

Which fire door rules apply in Hinckley?

In Hinckley, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet.

Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Hinckley building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.

Which buildings in Hinckley need FD60 fire doors?

You are most likely to need FD60 fire doors if you look after plant and boiler rooms, stair cores in taller blocks or mixed-use commercial buildings. Whatever the building in Hinckley, we survey each opening and tell you which doors need work and which do not.
