FD60 fire doors in Southport: what's involved

Our FD60 fire doors service covers Southport and the wider Merseyside area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.

Buildings in and around Southport range from houses with integral garages to HMOs and care homes. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.

For FD60 work in Southport we generally fit certified doorsets, so frame and leaf share the same test evidence. FD60 openings in Southport buildings tend to be stair cores, plant rooms and bin stores in larger blocks and commercial premises.

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:

• Load-rated hinges and correctly powered closer
• 60-minute glazing systems where vision panels are needed
• Check of the fire strategy rating for each opening
• Certified FD60 doorset or leaf with matching evidence
