FD60 fire doors for Wigston buildings

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

Wigston has a broad mix of buildings, including small blocks of flats, care homes and family homes after loft conversions, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.

Before ordering FD60 doors for a Wigston building, we check the rating each opening actually needs, because over-specifying makes doors heavier and dearer. For FD60 work in Wigston 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
• 60-minute glazing systems where vision panels are needed
• Check of the fire strategy rating for each opening
• Intumescent and smoke seals as specified
