FD60 fire doors in Scunthorpe

FD60 fire doors for Scunthorpe buildings

We provide FD60 fire doors in Scunthorpe (DN16 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.

In and around Scunthorpe, fire door work covers everything from HMOs to schools. We plan each job around the people who use the building.

Before ordering FD60 doors for a Scunthorpe building, we check the rating each opening actually needs, because over-specifying makes doors heavier and dearer. For FD60 work in Scunthorpe 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:

• Check of the fire strategy rating for each opening
• Load-rated hinges and correctly powered closer
• Intumescent and smoke seals as specified
• Certified FD60 doorset or leaf with matching evidence

Fire door law for Scunthorpe properties

Fire doors in Scunthorpe 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.
